A practising artist since 2001 from the UK who moved to Australia in 2023 with her family now calls the Surf Coast her home and place of inspiration.
Zoey grew up in the UK attending University as a mature student in 2015 receiving a First-Class BA/Hons in Fine Art and Professional Practice, where she went on to receive recognition as ‘One of the North Wests Top Art Graduates’.
Zoey works in a variety of media including acrylic, oils, pastel and inks across a spectrum of traditional painting genres, including; abstract, still life and landscape.
Since moving to Australia Zoey has been predominantly working in the realm of abstract painting. Her work is heavily influenced by form and hidden colours found in the natural landscape.
Through her use of vibrant, bold colours and a strong focus on line and mark making – Marks often inspired by walking trail maps she follows with her family – Zoey creates a visual language that invites the viewer to explore beyond the surface and into the depths of her abstracted landscapes making personal connections to interpret the work on their own.
