Zelime
Matthews back
to artists page
"It’s all
about color and contrast, line and
design; it’s all about celebrating
the infinite manifestation of our
world: subtle transitions,
acrimonious juxtapositions, positive
and negative spaces, fluidity and
stasis and; it’s about balance,
walking the razors edge."
Zelime graduated with
a degree in art history from Hollins
University. She attributes her
eclectic art to countless hours
spent in museums, cathedrals and
countrysides. Her first employer,
friend and mentor, Janet Shook,
noted San Antonio watercolorist and
needlepoint designer, gave Zelime
her knowledge and experience and the
confidence to embark on any art
project from easel painting to the
design of a 23 foot needlepoint
tapestry at the southwest school of
art and craft to the execution of a
76 square foot ceramic table.
Although born with a spirit of
adventure Zelime is an 11th
generation San Antonian. She lives
with her husband, 2 dogs, a studio
cat and visiting raccoons.
Next to a sunrise or to a blank
canvas, her family and many friends
are her greatest joy.
