About Zoë Pawlak

Zoë Pawlak is an artist and industrial designer born and based in Vancouver.  Rooted in painting, the through-line in her work is her unique capacity to maintain a strong personal aesthetic while maintaining a commitment to telling the truest version of her stories. Zoë is a local entrepreneurial leader, speaker, and passionate about community. She believes that great work tells the individual narrative with an honest vulnerability that allows the viewer to step into a shared narrative they can then claim as their collective truth.

  • “I commissioned Zoë to create a painting to honour my sweet Mama’s journey on this earth. I wanted it to document the layers of her life and her new role as our guardian angel in heaven. Through many meetings and tears came this amazing piece. I am forever grateful to Zoë for understanding grief and healing.”
