About the Artist

My name is Zachary Knoles, and this is my work. I'm an independent artist living and working in the SF Bay Area. I paint mostly figurative pieces with a stylized-representational look to them. I also make animated films.

Buying Original Art

Many of my paintings are available for purchase through my Etsy store. Prices range from $500 to as low as $50. I also have prints available for selected pieces. If you see a piece you're interested in that isn't currently for sale, let me know! I'm happy to work something out if I can.
