About the Item
Colorado-based artist Zoa Ace creates oil-on-canvas paintings, watercolors, and collage work. She employs a mix of pop culture, animals, and nostalgic imagery in her scenes, often carnival-like or theatrical.
As a child growing up in Illinois, Ace loved to draw, and her favorite subject in school was Art. In the 1970s, Ace discovered Chicago’s Hairy Who artists represented by the Phyllis Kind Gallery. She viewed the recently uncovered murals of Henry Darger and other Outsider Artists at the Museum of Contemporary Art. These works influenced and inspired her, as did the bold gestures and imagery of the German Expressionists she observed at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Ace studied Art History in college, then later moved to Colorado with her artist husband. They began their art careers showing work simultaneously in Chicago & Denver before branching out to other parts of the country.
Her work is included in the permanent collection of the Denver Art Museum, the Vance Kirkland Museum, and Denver’s Children’s Hospital. It has been displayed in the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C, and the U.S. Embassy in Vienna, Austria.
Her work can be playful and thought-provoking. She finds making her living as a fine artist both satisfying and unpredictable. Ace endeavors to produce work that is engaging for herself and others.

Zoa Ace
Zoa Ace was born in Rockford, Illinois, in the 20th century. She is influenced by Max Beckman (1884–1950), who was a German painter, draftsman, printmaker, sculptor and writer. Although he is classified as an Expressionist artist, he rejected both the term and the movement. Zoa's images are subconsciously manifested into a juxtaposition of themes and figures in motion.

Food & Weather Gauge (1/40)
Located in Nashville, TN
Artwork Size: 12 x 19 in
Edition 1 of 40
"Flood and Weather Gauge" is a multi-colored print from hand-carved engravings, matted and framed, by Ke Francis.
As a writer as well as a visual artist, many of Francis' artworks have a literary aspect to them, whether it is pure illustration or an implied narrative. "Flood and Weather Gauge" was created as a purely visual image without any accompanying text. However, Francis creates an implied narrative within the piece through the relationship and dialogue between the overwhelmed homemade weather gauge and the intensifying weather conditions of the flood.
Over ten years after the original work's creation, a version of Flood and Weather Gauge accompanied Michael Hannon...
