Biography

​

​

Zoë Rayne is an oil painter living and painting on Wurundjeri Country, in the Dandenong Ranges of Victoria. She graduated from the National Art School in 2015 with a Bachelor of Fine Art in Painting.

 

With a deep connection to the more-than-human world, Zoë has always felt called to depict humanity’s inherent inseparability from nature. A painter of the liminal, Zoë strives to portray a sense of mystery and the otherworldly in her work.

 

Her paintings are a reclamation of old ways found in myth, story and folklore, intertwined with her own explorations of queerness, ritual, kink and eco-sexuality. Her work has been shown in the USA and galleries around Australia.
