Starting as a painter illustrating book covers and tarot cards, Zenko realized her illustrative artwork had a story to tell but was hard to contextualize on it's own. With hobbies and interests related to Japanese culture, including 10+ years in Aikido, she taught herself to draw and write manga so as to bring them to life within their own world. Hidden away in mountains of the midsouth Zenko brings mystical and magical stories to life with fluid, dynamic and cinematic artwork, compelling characters and hidden ancient references.
