S T A T E M E N T
Zoya Scholis is an abstract artist whose paintings feature grids and natural forms – birds, leaves and petals. As a process painter she often starts with random marks or pools of paint later defined by grids, lines or the organic carving of negative space.  Among her many influences are painters Joan Savo, Paul Klee, and Ueslei Fagundes, conceptual artist Taryn Simon, and performance artist Valie Export. For Scholis, art making is an exploration of psyche and an experiment with the Divine.

B I O
Scholis grew up in Monterey, Ca., studied Drawing, Painting and Art History with Mel Ramos, Enrique Chagoya and Dr. Mark Levy at CSUEB, graduating with honors in 1993.  She resides in Seaside, CA.
