Western Art Gallery Featured Artist 2007
Michele Zarb
Michele Zarb grew up living and traveling extensively
throughout the United States and Canada. Her interest in art
started at an early age, winning her first art award at age
six. After settling in Canada in 1988, Michele devoted
herself to painting professionally.
Zarb's love for the rich culture and heritage of the
Northern Plains is evident in her work. Research in
libraries and archives as well as personal experience ensure
her paintings are accurate. Her favorite subject is the
Plains Indian. Michele finds their culture, artifacts, and
spirituality fascinating. She discovers endless subjects
with the mystery, symbols, color, and tradition of the First
Nations people.
Michele Zarb's work has been accepted in international
competitions in Canada and the United States. She has been
elected membership in various art organizations throughout
North America. She was the only artist in Canada to be
accepted to the Cowboy Artists of America Workshop in
Bozeman, Montana. Michele was also selected to design the
2004 Stampede Western Art Show collector pin.
