She writes, draws, paints, prints, collages, and teaches, guided by the belief that peace comes from within - through discovering who you are and showing gentleness toward your perceived failings. Passionate about helping others unlock their own creativity, Zoë shares her knowledge both in person and online, firmly believing that creativity is a muscle everyone can flex.

As a parent, I wrangle chaos into order - a messy, precarious balance of high wires and spinning plates. One day an ad for 'oxygen bleach' promised a level of domestic skill that was blissfully aspirational, if not attainable. More than just whiter whites and brighter brights - I could be the person I should be. I'd live clutter-free with sparkling benchtops, organic things, and zero guilt and frustration over my messy, but beautiful life.
