Art + Design

While I’ve loved drawing, painting, sculpting and creating all my life, I’ve only recently reactivated my artistic practice. I launched Zimme Studio in 2024 to share my artwork and designs.

In my abstract paintings, I use vibrant colors, dynamic layers and sinuous lines to create a sense of possibility. Guided by intuition, I seek to evoke feelings of joy, goodness and freedom.

I experiment with acrylic paints and mixed media (my go-to supplies include oil pastels, colored pencils and glitter glue) on canvases and paper large and small, as well as painting in digital formats.

I currently sell select works as prints on an Etsy shop.  

Here are a few of my paintings:

In my surface pattern designs — which can be applied to fabrics, wallpaper and a wide range of housewares — I create with bold colors and happy motifs, from animal prints to stripes to flowers.

You can find my patterns on Spoonflower.

Here is a sampling of my designs:
