👋😊

Hello! My name is Zoe. I grew up homeschooled in Minnesota, spending time with my family, my imagination, and my art supplies.

 

🎨

I've always loved to create, but it was at 16 years old that I fell in love with drawing in portraiture. Each day after school, I would draw for hours and hours, learning the principles of art.

Recently, I’ve found immense joy in painting with gouache on wood slabs that have live bark edges. I use a magical realist style, which enhances the storytelling of each artwork. A main inspiration for my paintings are my family camping trips to the Boundary Waters, where I am able to reconnect with my inner child, moss, trees, tiny mushrooms, and the lakes.

​

I received my bachelor's degree in Studio Art from the College of Saint Benedict. Since then, I established Zoe Mae Art LLC, which offers a variety of products and services, ranging from Custom Wood Art and Children’s Book Illustration, to event offerings: Live Fashion Illustration and Live Painting. Find me at an art market or visit my shop to browse my collection!

When I'm not creating or sharing my art, I'm enjoying my rent, spending time with my fiancé Luke and cat Lulu, playing guitar and singing Taylor Swift songs, cooking Indian food, throwing themed parties, or playing board games with friends.

I hope you take some time to explore some of my work! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
