ABOUT STEPHANIE ZING
Stephanie Zing is a multi-medium artist. She grew up in the land of enchantment, New Mexico and all her art is enormously informed by the symbolism, spiritual path and natural beauty she grew up with there. In the past 30 years she has traveled and lived in many states. She is primarily self-taught and was first influenced by her mother who was a creative master flower arranger and avid d-i-y creator. Her first love is glass, and she works in fused, enamel, stained and mosaic glass as the medium is constantly challenging and the methods are both traditional and innovative. She paints in high-pigment tempera, watercolor, and acrylics and joyfully mixes mediums to create artworks as well. She is an avid and prolific visual art journaler and painter of primitive style art. She loves to utilize found objects and creates highly symbolic imagery through her assemblages.
Her artworks are about the exploration of iconic ideas and images and the telling of a new story through the combination of the choices of mediums and bold color. Her goal is to give life and character to her artwork using a variety of mediums and themes. Her meandering spiritual path, symbology and enduring curiosity with history and historical figures, angels, saints, demons, celebrity, and icons frequently make both subtle and confrontational appearances in her art. She is a poet with several published volumes of poetry. She has taught at Neusole Glassworks, the Orlando Museum of Art, the Deland Museum of Art, Artworks Deland, and the Art League of Daytona. Her studio is Bohemian Art Café.
