I am Marguerite W. Meara, I see myself as a mixed bag artist. I live in the Hudson Valley Region of New York, a place that draws artist’s from all walks of life . For centuries, people have come to the Hudson Valley, to paint and draw, the splendors of this region. I derive my inspiration from many sources and greatly for my love of Nature. I am self-taught in Mixed Media Arts, Digital Art, plus many other art forms. I worked as a designer/drafter, graphic artist and technical writer for over 25+ years. As great as all those years were, I still felt a void. The artist in me, needed to be cut loose. Art is the synthesis of my inner feelings, and it brings me joy, to convey these thoughts and emotions through my Zentangling works.

My ultimate palette is Nature. Walking along the river is a staple and must for me. My return home finds the little treasures, I saw along the way, stuffed into the pockets of my jeans. My camera is crammed with images I am able to see thru a new eyes, and I find Zentangle’s everywhere, it is limitless. I’m always creating or working on one and jotting down all the idea’s for new ones. Sometimes it feels like I’ve been given a glimpse gift ,when I spot them. It is so rewarding to make something so mesmerizing and captivating, with this medium.
