MARGARET BREMNER
Nanaimo BC Canada
Ever since I was a little girl I thought of myself as an artist. I was never really interested in being anything else.
I gaze at things, trying to figure out how they work, visually. Once, when I was chatting with a friend, he stopped mid-sentence and asked, “What is it?” I was staring intently, fascinated by how the checked pattern on his shirt changed direction when it passed through a fold.
Colors, patterns, visual textures and designs thrill me. I love how a line can change from chubby to hairline and back again. Prairie sunsets, fireworks, and night skies full of stars leave me speechless. I like small things and details and am fascinated by how the very large and the very small are very similar. I love translucence and colored glass and light on water and sparkly things.
I lived in Quebec for several years and am reasonably fluent in French. My husband and I spent two years in China teaching English. I'm nowhere near passable in Chinese! Bruce and I have been married for over 30 years and we have three truly wonderful girls, three terrific sons-in-law, and three very precious granddaughters.
Why "enthusiastic artist"?
The word 'enthusiasm' has Latin and Greek roots and means 'filled with spirit'. That's what making art does to me: fills me with spirit.
Sakura, the company that makes the Micron pens used in Zentangle, shared an article I wrote about Zentangle on the company website. They wrote: "Margaret Bremner, a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT)... beautifully and succinctly describes Zentangle in "The Art of Zentangle" published by WHOLifE magazine."
