OCTOBER 2026: ZOEY PASSMORE "WABI SABI"
Wabi-sabi is a Japanese idea about finding beauty in imperfection, simplicity, and the natural process of change. It is about appreciating things as they are instead of trying to make them perfect.
Artist Bio: My name is Zoey Passmore. I’m 14 and a self-taught artist. I mostly make paintings, but I have also experimented with sewing, sculpture, jewelry, and pencil art. I like making art about the life around me and nature, and I enjoy trying different ways to express myself through art.
Artist Statement: My art is about life around me, nature, and expressing emotions. I like realistic art, but I also like showing emotion through what I make. I chose imperfection as a theme because, as a beginner artist, striving for perfection in art can feel impossible. I think imperfections are part of what makes art and people unique. Instead of trying to make everything perfect, I want to appreciate the process and the things that make each piece different.
