Learning to Network

I recently met the delightful president of the Derby Arts Council, Cheryl Bannon. She was intrigued by my Zentangle® art, and invited me to submit a piece for the upcoming art auction. This auction serves as a fundraiser for the Derby Community Foundation, and takes place at an annual gala event called "Uncorked".

Here is the piece I donated...

"There's No Place Like Home"

In exchange for the donation of art, I will receive a free ticket to the "Uncorked" gala. I'm hopeful about meeting some folks that may be able to help propel me to fame and fortune....well...at least spread the word around town that I offer Zentangle® classes.

I wonder if this hand-wringy, insecure, uncomfortable, embarrassed feeling will ever go away? I wonder if other people who draw (see? I find it virtually impossible to call myself an...artist) have this gnawing, deep-seated need for approval? This fear of rejection and vexing consciousness of...exposure?  

Yours, Mine, and Ours

Rick and Maria the Zentangle® Wunderkinder, have posted the class photo of my CZT class! It was such a great time with great people. I'm so tickled to finally see this photo and share it with you. There were 100 students, and here we all are in the courtyard of Hotel Providence. Kudos to the photographer!

The Certified Zentangle Teacher Seminar X

I also had a great time with a great group of students at my Introduction to Zentangle Class held at Hobby Lobby last Saturday. What a talented, fun group! Here is our class mosaic...

Aren't they awesome? Everybody had a lot of fun, especially me! 

Heads up...the deadline to register for the Christmas Card Workshop scheduled for Saturday December 15

is fast approaching! You MUST register by Thursday December 13. 

Christmas Card Workshop

I am offering a Zentangle Christmas Card Workshop! What is more meaningful and special than the gift of creativity and art from the heart? 

Each student will learn several new tangles, then create one or more cards to take home - these can be copied, if desired, to send or give as many as you need! Intro to Zentangle is a prerequisite, and this class is being offered on three different dates in December. For all the details, click HERE
