ZINA HALL

Born 1964, Shreveport, Louisiana
Has practiced at Creative Growth since 2006

Hall works from photographs by either tracing the subject’s contours and details onto fabric with a sharpie while keeping the photo next to her for reference or sewing through the photo itself on the fabric. The economy of means in her selective palette and tight stitch work delivers the drama and significance of a grand tapestry while capturing essential details of her beloved figures. While choosing to create single pieces most of the time, Hall will occasionally revisit her quilting skills and stitch several pieces together for large wall hangings.
