Multi-disciplinary artist, Zenobia Southcombe, hails from Auckland but now calls East Otago home. Her work includes painting, books, mixed media objects, and zines. Her (rather lofty) mission is to create beauty & abundance in the world, by honouring and supporting the natural world. 

Her most recent show was a joint exhibition with Anne-Marie “Artemis” Jones Empty Vessels (2022) at Pūmanawa in Christchurch’s Art Centre, and she is currently working on a gardening memoir and a 100 Days of Photography project.
