Art of Zachary Knoles

Hi, I'm Zachary (he/him), fine artist, UI/UX designer, game developer. I make paintings of lonely, ethereal figures in moments of quiet. Or sometimes just nudes. There are some video game and pop culture influences in there too sometimes. I find it hard to categorize, myself.

When I'm not painting, I'm also a solo game developer, amateur astronomer/astrophotographer, and tryhard speedrunner.

Everything human-made. No generative AI.
