Zana is a painter of the natural world, with a particular interest in equestrian, wildlife and landscape subjects, based on a lifelong passion for painting, animals and the habitats in which they live and on her training and experience in wildlife ecology, landscape design and illustration.
With an Australian father and Welsh mother, she has led a nomadic life, having been born in Cyprus and living and travelling in Australia, the Far East, Brazil, Africa and Europe. She recently returned to the North East to resume her painting career, after trying to “do her bit” for the environment, having worked for David Bellamy, RSPB and Conservation International.
Zana benefited from an early training in drawing and painting from her architect-trained father and as a child spent longer drawing and painting than a normal school would probably allow, having been educated by her mother at home in the Philippines and Brazil.
She is strongly influenced by Scottish painting and in particular by the honorary ‘Glasgow Boy’, Joseph Crawhall, the great equestrian and wildlife painter from Morpeth in Northumberland. The colours, forms and atmosphere of the places in which she has lived and travelled also influence her work.
Zana has exhibited by invitation at the Mall Gallery, London, The Marjoribanks Gallery, Coldstream, The Smokehouse Gallery, Eyemouth, Queen’s Hall, Hexham and The Drokje Gallery in Wierden in the Netherlands. She works in oil, pastel and watercolour and PW Fine Art Prints prepare her limited edition giclee fine art prints.
