Zoe Caron

Zoe Caron is a jack of all trades. She is a biological illustrator, a prolific artist, and a professional scientific researcher. Her highly refined observational skills were nurtured early on by her father’s involvement in the Marine Sciences, and she would draw jellyfish before she could say her first words. At the age of 12, she studied privately with watercolor artist Kahthryn Stinis for a few years. Owing greatly to her high skill level in watercolor technique, Caron’s exquisite attention to detail is a character trait in her work and signature to her biologically accurate art. The different techniques she uses across her mediums artfully illustrate the differences between species, such as the slight color or morphological variations that would otherwise go unnoticed. Zoe is an advocate for environmental preservation, and her work organically alludes to her self-sustaining lifestyle. She has a passion for researching corn genetics and is heavily involved in urban farming and sustainable community building in the Bay Area and Peninsula. Caron is currently teaching collaborative painting, biological illustration, and abstraction in group and individual settings and is also bilingual with fluency in English and Spanish.
