Zina Swanson
Zina Swanson (born 1981) is a New Zealand artist. Her works are held in the Christchurch Art Gallery, University of Canterbury and Hocken Collections.
Swanson was born in Christchurch in 1981.[1] She graduated from the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts with a BFA (Sculpture) in 2003.[2] After losing her studio and most of her early art production in the Christchurch earthquakes she lived in Auckland briefly before arriving in Dunedin in 2013 to take up her tenure as the University of Otago's Frances Hodgkins Fellow. By 2020 she was based in Christchurch again, living with artist partner James Oram and working part-time at the University of Canterbury.[3]
Swanson's work investigates the relationships between humans and the natural world.[4]
