Written by The Dose Team

Jessy Armia wadie Gendy is 21 years old
Graduated from Ramses college for girls (ex American school), currently studying mechanical design engineering in Cairo University.
She is the 1st Egyptian girl to draw a Zentangle coloring book in Egypt “Jaune”.

Zentangle art is one of the best types of art that helps you to relax and release stress and deteriorate anxiety levels .
Its not only used to improve mental state,but also used in art therapy. This book differs from what is displayed in the market is this book is hand drawn with love, not digitally drawn.

             

The idea started in 2020 when she was 18 years old.
When abruptly lock occurred, she thought it was a good chance to try something new.

Jessy decided to challenge herself and attempt everything she thought it is difficult or impossible to be done. She started by mandala drawing as she claimed it was one of the hardest type of arts, then step by step she discovered the Zentangle art.

Bit by bit she got immersed in this art ,that she could spend days drawing. So here came the idea of the book, since it made a difference in her life, she thought why not to share this with people so it could be a blessing for them by helping them to discover themselves and become better.

The book was published in 2021.
It was showcased in “Cairo Book fair 2022” , “portsaid book fair” , “Sharjah book fair”(city in the United Arab emirates).
