2026 Solo Exhibition "Little Memories"
Jul 06 - Aug 15 at Dougherty Arts Center, Austin TX
Artist Talk: Aug 12, 7-9 pm
Opening Reception: Jul 8, 7-9 pm
The collection is inspired by fragments of a combined childhood of the artist Zoee and her children. Through her whimsical interpretation of childhood memory, Zoee aims to remind adults of the valuable lessons we can learn from the unfiltered perspective of a child—the beauty in simplicity, the magic in the mundane, and the boundless optimism that colors every experience.
In a world that often rushes past the mundane, her paintings serve as a gentle reminder of the magic inherent in simplicity. By celebrating the innocence and wonder of formative years, Zoee hopes to inspire a renewed appreciation for the subtle joys that surround us.
About the artist
Zoee is a painter based in Texas, USA. Her work is deeply influenced by her upbringing in China and her later experiences in the United States. Her art marries the minimalist elegance of Eastern aesthetics with the bold, colorful expressions of Western styles. Drawing inspiration from childhood memories, she captures the essence of simplicity and playfulness that often gets lost in adulthood. Through her fantastical interpretation of childhood memories, Zoee aims to evoke a sense of nostalgia and joy, inviting viewers to reconnect with the beauty found in everyday moments.
