About Zapartdesign

Zoe & Mabel — The Story Behind Zapartdesign

Zapartdesign is the creative world of Zoe and her keen assistant, Mabel, a very opinionated Exotic Persian cat who is rarely far from the studio and happily by her side throughout the creative process.

Zoe’s creative journey began at a young age, evolving through careers in interior and jewellery design before training as an architectural technician. Her fascination with colour, form, texture, space and detail has remained a constant thread throughout.

Today, Zoe has found her happy place in the process of painting, that wonderful state of focus and flow where time disappears and ideas take on a life of their own.

Her work combines traditional oil painting techniques with contemporary digital technologies, exploring digital painting, photography and composition to create distinctive, contemporary artworks.

Inspired by nature, travel and the beauty of everyday surroundings, Zoe creates work with a sense of colour, joy and calm. Artwork designed to bring a little beauty and breathing space into busy environments.

For Zoe, Zapartdesign is an ongoing creative journey, a place to experiment, play and explore what happens when traditional artistry meets new technology.

And alongside it all is Mabel, the Exotic Persian cat, quality-control manager and devoted studio companion.
