HARRIET ZABUSKY-ZAND
My art education began as a child accompanying my father on weekly sketching trips around beautiful 'colonial' Savannah and neighboring fishing villages. Seeking new vehicles for personal expression, I learned to weave, and moved to England and set up a studio. During my stay abroad, I exhibited my work and executed commissions for tapestries and rugs. I was flooded by images which took a long time to execute by weaving, and began to paint with water colors. Upon returning to the United States I decided to pursue an education in painting.
“Not every piece will speak to every person. And that’s good. Because when the right piece finds the right collector, it’s like recognition. You don’t choose it – it chooses you.”
I received a Diploma in Fine Arts from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and a Master of Fine Arts degree from Massachusetts College of Art. Abstract Expressionism was a major influence on the work I produced during this time. The sense of infinite space, luminous sensuous color, and allusions to landscape allowed for the expression of my Buddhist beliefs. “Color is a thread that runs through all of my work.”
"My paintings, prints and pastel drawings are based on my belief that inherent in all life, especially human life, is the potential for enlightenment."
My art has been exhibited widely in the United States and in England. I’m honored that my work is included in the Gillette Corporation collection, the Sonesta Sonnabend collection, the Westin Hotel, Accenture, Mohegan Sun Casino, Marriott Hotels, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York, and many other corporate and private collections in the United States and England. We currently reside in Savannah, GA.

“Not every piece will speak to every person. And that’s good. Because when the right piece finds the right collector, it’s like recognition. You don’t choose it—it chooses you.”
“I don’t create for a faceless audience. I create with a very specific person in mind: someone who values depth, authenticity, and resonance. When you see yourself in my work, you’re the one I was creating for.”
“I love watching the shifting patterns, reflections, and the way light travels across the surface of the water.” (Faith Like Flowing Water series).”
“Color is the thread that runs through all of my work.”
