About

Welcome to my artistic world! Glad you could make it. 

​

I'm Zach! A Muralist, Fine Artist, and Designer located in Southern Michigan. I received my BFA in Illustration at Grand Valley State University in 2019. Since then I have been working as a professional artist doing indoor/ outdoor murals, and teaching as an adjunct art professor at Jackson College.

​

My work is a lot of things. At its core, it’s an exploration of color and shape. I’m deeply drawn to the creative process and the way skills build over time through trial and error. I’m less interested in locking into a single style and more interested in developing as an artist in all areas. Because of that, my work takes many forms: psychedelic abstract compositions, landscapes, portraits, animals, or digital illustrations. It really is whatever I’m inspired by. Maybe it’s something new that I want to try to paint, somewhere I’ve been, or even colors I want to get better at mixing. I really enjoy working spontaneously and letting intuition take over as the piece evolves. Ultimately, my work is driven by curiosity. Each piece is part of an ongoing process of learning, experimenting, and paying attention to how color, form, and balance come together. I find that the most exciting art happens in the space between control and chaos. By leaning into spontaneity, I allow my work to become a visual record of my own artistic curiosity. My hope is that these pieces resonate with others not just as subjects, but as reminders that subtle beauty can be found when we simply stop to look at the way light, colors, and shapes interact with the world around us.

​

Outside of creating, I thoroughly enjoy being blasted in the face by sun rays. I spend a lot of time outside hiking, biking, slacklining, and sitting on the pristine sands of Lake Michigan. I also enjoy diving into music and spending time with friends and family. 

​

I appreciate you being here. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you're looking to brighten up your space.

Cheers!
