Artist Statement:
Zariah was born in Portland , Oregon, and has lived on Maui since 1996.
Her passion for vibrant color and magical-spiritual subject matter was evident from an early age. So was her immense creative talent. in the usual terminology of the art world, Zariah would be called “self-taught”, but she prefers to think of herself as inspired, and trained by numerous artists, teachers, schools and , of course, long practice.
“My earliest and happiest memories of childhood”, she says, “are times when I had a first full of colored pencils and some fresh white paper”. At age six, she won her first art contest by creating a colorful jester-clown for a Seattle newspaper. A few years later, in school, she won another contest with a book of her own poetry, illustrated with fanciful drawings. Still in school, she received honors for a book of magical fantasy stories and accompanying illustrations.
Whenever they were offered in school, Zariah took classes that allowed her to explore art and craft techniques, creative expression and, most particularly, color.
At the University of Oregon, she studied art traditions encompassing China, Japan, India, Greece and Europe. She also studied drawing, jewelry, metal smiting and ceramics...
