Visual Artist with an Urban-Folky and sometimes Political-Cartooney Edge

At age 14, Zeal's first job was drawing portraits and caricatures in Busch Gardens Amusement Park in Williamsburg, Virginia. After Highschool, she acquired a BFA at Howard University, Washington D.C. where she studied theater, art, and make-up design.
After beginning to work in theater, film, and television, she entered into UCLA graduate film school. While there, she took a painting class and decided to leave film school and later apply to Graduate Art programs. She received an MFA from Otis College of Art and Design.
Zeal's art is vividly colorful in palette and in characters. She has an edgy sense of humor while exploring taboo socio-poltical isses, historical topics, and daily life. Her work is usually autobiographical or illustrates second-hand, personally collected stories.

Love your work, Zeal!
thanks for accepting me!
I'm tired but I'm coming back to look more because you are one of the best artists I have seen. I dig your stuff a lot. I have been trying to push boundaries and have been inspired by your work profoundly. Cheers. By the way...Do the Right Thing is one of the greatest for sure.
Thanks for the star :-)
