Zoa Ace enjoys the traditional beauty of oil paint on canvas.  Her figurative canvases deal primarily with human relationships and emotions.  She sometimes use theatrical, night club, or other festive environments as backdrops for a cast of characters.  It is her intention for the viewer to interpret what is happening in the painting just as they might interpret a poem.  The paintings aren't limited in what they are expressing because they evoke a varied range of responses. 

     Color is a predominant factor in her work.  The floral canvases allow her to create a variety of patterns and textures with the paint.  Because the stillife subject matter deals with nature, these paintings tend to give the viewer a sense of calm or pleasure
