About

Portraits of the people we are all at once.

Zac's work examines the layered nature of identity through expressive, multi-faceted portraiture. Each figure is formed from overlapping faces, fragmented gestures, and saturated color palettes that suggest a shifting inner life. These paintings don't depict specific individuals; they create imagined personas that reflect emotion, memory, and internal states. Painted in acrylic at his studio at Agnes Arts in Kansas City.
