Visual Artist Based in Sheffield, UK
Zaptabby is a visual artist exploring the theme of abstraction with printmaking, painting, drawing, photography and video.
(𝔁²)ound + Vision + (Peak + MarkMaking (𝔂²)District x ShefFIELD) + Drawing + Automism + (Mix-media x (S²)pirituality) = ABSTRACTION
In 1998 Zaptabby graduated with a MA (distinction) in Printmaking. From 1998 to 2000 Zaptabby was a lecturer at Bradford College, teaching Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Office to 16-year old art students and adults. After Adobe’s awful switch to subscription based buying, Zaptabby has now transferred to Affinity Designer, Photo and Publisher. Throughout many years Zaptabby has gained knowledge and techniques with video.
Graphic Design for Web and Print
In 2000 Zaptabby set up Zapstudio, focusing on web design, hosting and graphic design for print. Zapstudio aimed to create high quality web design and print for small businesses and creative individuals on a tight budget. Feel free to contact Zapstudio anytime to discuss your requirements.
