"Dance is the hidden language of the soul" -Martha Graham

Ballet Dancers

Zoe is a contemporary figurative artist predominately known for her paintings of ballet. Zoe has painted key figures from the world of dance, notably principles from The Royal Ballet, Bolshoi and Mariinsky. With unique and privileged access behind the scenes and in rehearsals Zoe is able to capture private intimate moments of the ephemeral life of a dancer by exploring not only their beauty and power but also their vulnerabilities. Zoe uses the rich jeweled colors of pastel, the transient fluidity of watercolour as well as traditional handmade Japanese papers with their beautiful slightly textured surfaces.   Please contact Zoe for details of paintings  currently available to purchase.
