ABOUT
I’m Laura Marks.
I’m a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT22) living in West Hartford, Connecticut.
I have a Bachelors of Arts in Visual Arts and a Masters Degree in generalized counseling as well as being a certified Health and Life Coach. I incorporate my therapy and coaching experience into my Zentangle practice and teaching.
Zentangle is the perfect blend of my two areas of interest - helping people through art.
I have been teaching Zentangle through the Art for Healing program of Hartford Hospital since 2016, facilitating a group of cancer survivors and caregivers in expressive art projects. I also teach Zentangle classes through many local municipalities, public libraries, universities, places of worship and school systems. In addition, I offer services for large groups for professional development and team building purposes as well as small, private group events. I teach at least two online Zentangle classes monthly that you can find on my Eventbrite page.
I enjoy expressing myself through my art while sharing a method I love to others who are looking to soothe anxieties, relieve stress, enhance creativity or just make something unique and beautiful.
What is Zentangle?
Zentangle is a method of creating abstract art through structured patterns.
It is a meditative way of drawing that looks very complex but is actually very simple to do - in fact anyone can create a piece of art using this method with no artistic experience. There is no “right way” of drawing attached Zentangle so you are free to experience the joy and surprise of creation and expression without worries or fears of making a mistake.
While doodling may look similar, the organization of this method and the mindfulness behind it make it a practice wherein the experience is just as important as the results.
As a professional artist, health and life coach and counselor,
I use the Zentangle method to
boost creativity
ease anxiety
and reduce stress.
