About the Artist :
My blissful journey from just a piece of random drawing to ZENTANGLE ART
Hello! I am Monali Garg, a self-led learner and a mother to two self-led unschooling kids.
Zentangle is the art of making repetitive patterns where Zen = meditation and Tangle= patterns.
The Tangle part of my journey is: It all started in April 2020, when I randomly drew some patterns on paper with sketchpens for about 2 hours. The next day I felt like making another one. After about 3 days of making patterns, I accidentally chanced upon the word ZENTANGLE through facebook videos and Bingo!! I landed upon my soul art... my soul passion. Little did I know the past 3 days were spent doing Zentangle Art. I read and searched extensively on Zentangling.I self taught myself some nuances into this art. For almost a week I kept on taking inspiration from my environment for patterns. Patterns are everywhere. Since May 2020, everyday I have kept giving shape to my observation and imagination on paper and have created some magical art pieces. Zentangle has gotten onto my nerve- into my being, forever.
Zentangling is the dominant centre piece of my life puzzle which radiates light and imbibes itself as a way of living rather than just learning an art subject.
My story is simple but the ZEN transition is very serene and powerful. Zentangle Art has helped me a lot in observing, accepting and reflecting my thoughts and actions. I am a lot calmer and happier person.
And yes, now I wish to share streaks of happiness with YOU through my art pieces.
