Meet the Artists

Zach Andersen

Born and raised in northern Utah, Zachary Andersen’s deep appreciation for nature stems from early outdoor experiences, including summers in Grand Teton and Yellowstone. His art reflects this reverence, aiming to portray subjects’ inherent character through light, form, and color. Characterized by high-saturated underpaintings and a blend of impressionism and realism, Zach’s work invites personal interpretation. With degrees in architecture and fine arts from The University of Utah, Zach has honed his skills across various mediums, primarily oil, creating evocative landscapes and portraits. He currently lives and works in Winchester, Virginia, with his wife, Caitlin.

Tim Daly

Tim Daly, (October 18, 1956- ) makes sculptures, wall hangings and outdoor installations in Summit Point WV. He is represented locally by the Shenandoah Arts Co-Op Gallery. Born in Katonah NY, Tim attended Allegheny College and SUNY Albany, before moving to Virginia to ride horses around 1979. In addition to buying, selling, breeding and competing his own horses, Tim rode hunters and jumpers for leading Virginia horsemen. During that period Tim also spent about 8 years at Llangollen Farm in Upperville. He oversaw the dispersal of a large group of thoroughbred race horses and broodmares, and subsequent total renovation of that historic Estate.

After retiring from the horse business on a small farm in Summit Point, Tim and his partner Bridget Brown developed a small business involving a flock of sheep, fiber mill, and wool shop. In the loft of their pre Civil War bank barn, Tim had an antique/junk shop. The antique shop has morphed into an artists studio. The piles of bits and pieces of old farm equipment and hardware, are what Tim redirects into his art.

Paul Zdepski

Paul Zdepski is a visual artist working in digital and traditional two & three dimensional media. He’s been working within the arts since his first published book and LP cover in 1981. He maintains his studio in Toms Brook Virginia while also teaching Painting, Drawing, and Digital Art at Shenandoah University, Illustration and Graphic Communications at George Mason University and the University of Maryland Global Campus. He holds degrees from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, and Hartford University in Connecticut.

Paul’s work with figurative sculptor Anthony Visco, and abstract artist Hiroshi Murata has formed his interests in merging classical and new media methodologies. His work is varied and often experiential, focusing on family history, regional lore, and humor. Whether it’s about climbing a rope with the help of his toes, or a sea-sick fishing trip, his work is self-deprecating and honest. He has had multiple one-man shows, group-show exhibitions, and has been invited to lecture and exhibit abroad by the US State Department.

Recent works have ventured into abstraction while maintaining controlled brush work to capture the relationship between chaos and order. Works often exhibit an unbroken line of paint weaving from the center to an outer contour terminus while imposed over concentric gradients. The weave creates additional forms that push fore- and background roles as they radiate from inside to out.Keep up with Paul’s progress at zillustration.com or Instagram account @zillustration.
