CZT Detail

I was introduced to Zentangle in 2011 and became so excited about it that I Immediately was able to register for the certification classes with Rick and Maria in the fall of the same year.  I traveled to Massachusetts with a dear friend where we were both certified in Class #4 and I can truthfully say it changed my life!  My husband and I moved to The Villages, Florida shortly thereafter and my teaching “career” with Zentangle began.  The Villages is an amazing retirement area with a population totaling well over 130,000 residents.  I was the first Certified Teacher in the area and was able to introduce this great art form to The Villagers as well as folks in surrounding areas.  I have taught literally hundreds and hundreds (I have lost count of the actual number) of ladies, men and children in private classes, small groups, seminars, club meetings, art groups, etc.   As a result of the number of students, I was encouraged to start a club.  The original Zentangle Club of The Villages was in its 10th year and going strong when I discontinued it due to a move my husband I made just outside the Villages. We sold our home so quickly we needed to find a place to move, hence I had to give up the club.  I am happy to say that we are now back as Village residents and that one of my students, who is now a CZT started a new club in my absence and I am happy to say it is going strong. I continue to teach classes via request and always look forward to helping others learn this fantastic art form.  As I tell everyone who asks, “If you can hold a pencil, I can teach you to ‘tangle.’
