Hi!
I'm Zonia
I'm a self-taught artist and still learning every day. Art was never my plan, but always something I kept coming back to over the years. Nothing fills me up more than hearing about how meaningful it is to help you fill your home with contemporary art.
​
​With original plans to become a Forensic Pathologist and graduating with my Bachelor of Sciences, I somehow found my passion in the veterinary field. While I was training to become a veterinary technician, I started painting pet portraits as a way to help fund my classes. I never anticipated my portraits bringing people so much joy and for word to spread like wildfire. Soon I had a wait list of 2+ years and worked on portraits in every spare moment I had!
​
Having recently moved into becoming a full time artist, but also a full time mom, my art is ever evolving to fit my current stage in life. Having recently learned to create uniquely beautiful pieces with alcohol inks I've been pushing it even further by learning to turn them into seamless files. After many requests I'm finally offering my art in digital formats for others to create unique pieces with.
I'm originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia but now I live in Upstate NY with my two border collies, 4 kitties and my 2 young boys while my husband pursues his career as an ER physician. I enjoy spending any spare moments I have hiking with my pups, playing Agility with my dog Rynslo, renovating our new home and building our sustainable garden.
​
​
As a mom to two young boys I do often have extended wait times and turn around times as I juggle the balance of creation and being a mom. For the most up to date information and products I hope you'll join my VIP Facebook group or follow on my IG as I update there most frequently!
