No matter what medium she uses, Zina forges her own unique path. When drawing, she uses stencils and colored pencils. She loosely fills in the openings in the stencil, drawing with speed and energy. Then she moves the stencil and repeats until the page is covered with overlapping layers of color, pattern, and line. When painting with a brush, she throws her whole body into it, diving across the canvas to reach the farther end. When painting with a twig, she delicately skitters the inked end across the surface, sensitive to subtle variations of line and sensation. Zina is also an avid jewelry maker.
