We had the good fortune of connecting with Zoe Karlson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Zoe, what are you inspired by?
Everything. My friends and family mostly; Sentimentality. Things I have a direct + deep connection with. Street art, art history, people watching, interacting with a crowd, nature. Referencing and Parallelity. Consciousness. Color. Concepts.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I regard myself as a multi-focused mixed media artist, specializing in Fashion and Surface Design; all blossoming from my adoration of Art History. Incorporating my own artwork in my clothing is a constant, as well as upcycling and reclaiming vintage or otherwise ‘found’ materials.
