Zoë graduated in 1982, with a degree in Fine Arts and Illustration from Harrow College of Art in London England (now University of Westminster). She worked for several years in London as a freelance illustrator producing imagery for book and magazine publishing, Design and Advertising. Through her natural flare for colour and movement, Zoë began to gravitate towards the Animation Industry, painting background scenery for classically animated feature films including “Anastasia” and “Titan AE”.

 

Zoë lived a typically nomadic lifestyle moving from place to place following film contracts in Europe, the US and Canada. “My commitment to painting, particularly from nature, has been constant through my career and I’ve had the good fortune of living in some very picturesque and paintable places”.

​

In 2000, Zoë relocated from Arizona to Vancouver BC to Art Direct several 3D animated Productions for which she was awarded 3 ELANs. “At the end of my first year contract in BC I made a solo trip to Haida Gwaii on the Suzuki DR650 I had brought over from Arizona. It was a memorable trip and gave me an insight into the beauty of the Pacific Northwest Coast. I knew I would never run out of places to paint in BC and that this was somewhere I could grow as an artist”.

​

Zoë now works from her home based studio in Garibaldi Highlands, (near Squamish) BC and teaches painting in the District of West Vancouver. She is an Active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and has been included in a number of their National juried shows. Zoë is proud to be represented by Mountain Galleries at the Fairmont, Whistler.
