ZENT NGLE

Zentangle is an easy to learn and relaxing method of creating beautiful images from repetitive

 patterns. It is a fascinating new art form that increases focus and creativity. Zentangle provides

artistic satisfaction and an increased sense of personal well being. Zentangle is enjoyed by a wide

range of skills and ages and is used in many fields of interest. And it's fun!

  How did Zentangle come about?

Once upon a time, not so very long ago, a man, Rick Roberts (a former monk and maker of native

American flutes), was watching a woman, Maria Thomas (a tremendously talented calligrapher),

 putting details into an illuminated manuscript she was working on.

One day, Maria told Rick what she experienced as she drew background patterns on a manuscript

she was creating. She described her feelings of timelessness, freedom and well-being and

complete focus on what she was doing with no thought or worry about anything else.

“You’re describing meditation,” Rick said. 

Rick and Maria wondered if they could create a simple system so others might enjoy a similar

experience. And so began the journey towards discovering this simple and elegant system called

Zentangle.

  Maria Thomas

Maria Thomas first became a working artist at age five when she produced a line of painted rocks

that quickly sold out at local bazaars. From rocks, to lettering, to botanical paintings, to

Zentangles –  all have merged into her unique trendsetting sense of style.

When she began Pendragon Ink, Ltd. over 25 years ago, Maria changed the look of traditional

invitations with her hand-painted flowers, expressive lettering and dramatic flourishing all now

familiar standards. With passionate creativity and daring originality, Maria and Pendragon Ink

continue to develop exciting new designs.

Recipient of countless accolades and awards, Maria lives and works with her beloved in a

magical Victorian in central Massachusetts. She has three children and three grandchildren.
