About Zaza Lewis

Zaza skillfully combines hand-cut card with colourful textured or fine fabrics to illustrate her ideas, without the need to use any paint.

In the last year she has focused on creating a unique style for the Horizons collection, which celebrates the diversity of landscapes she finds inspiring. She often dyes her own fabric in order to achieve the right colour balance and tones of the textiles.

From a distance the overall composition of each work can be appreciated, with the details, textures and structure revealing themselves as you get closer.

Her unique and distinctive style is a combination of her passion and knowledge of textiles for many years, as well as her experience and discipline learned from being a freelance graphic designer and map maker for the publishing industry.

Originally from France, Zaza has won 3 awards for her paper-cut and fabric pictures, at exhibitions in the Midlands and Monmouthshire. She now creates from her brand new studio in Derby.

Testimonials

Nov 2023 “We first saw Zaza Lewis’s work in 2019 and I finally have given a home to one of her pieces. It prompts many happy memories of the time we have spent in the Netherlands”

The Zaza Room as it is now called.

At the top of the stairs, someone thinks it’s the perfect fit.

“…My wife has brought the picture we purchased home and it’s wonderful. I’m very happy with it and we’re thinking hard about where to hang it “

Dear Zaza I am pleased to report that your lovely picture has been installed in our new room this evening…You can see that the wall was built specially to take the fire and the picture. Best wishes for your continued success
