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.
