As Zentangle artists, we create art by laying down basic strokes of ink on paper. These strokes, then repeated, are sequenced together with other strokes to form patterns.
If we step back and look at our lives, one might say that our journey through life is similar. We live our life one day at a time, days merge into weeks and months and years and yet we can look back at the whole as one memory. We experience one memory at a time attached to a series of memories. The same goes for celebrations, challenges, accomplishments, friendships, and so on. All these components of our lives are strung together to form ever-changing patterns ultimately forming a work of art we call life.
