Z.R. Southcombe (Zee) is a writer and artist. Her published literary works include children’s chapter books, a wordless picture book, colouring books, a children’s anthology, and zines. Two books are finalists for the 2016 SJVs, under ‘Best Youth Novel’.
Zee’s books are written for children, but with their wild sense of imagination, rich vocabulary and emotional resonance they are loved by readers of all ages. Zee’s paintings are surrealist and focus on the emotive self.
A true creative, Zee usually has a few creative projects on the go, but no matter what project she is currently working on, is usually accompanied by a cup of tea.
Zee makes art for her own fulfillment, but loves when she can share her passion with others – especially young creatorrs – inspiring them to follow their own dreams – wherever they may lead.
