Zab Shavrick is a Portland-based multi-media artist and graphic designer specializing in illustration, risograph, watercolor, gouache, natural pigment, tile, and tattoo. They currently run the branding-focused Green Door Studio, and have shown work at One Grand Gallery, Collector Bar and Daydream. They graduated from Parsons School of Design with a degree in communication design and studies in printmaking and fine arts.

Zab’s work plays with the motif of a slightly skewed reality; taking everyday objects, moments, and people and stretching their corners ever so slightly. Because of a frightful memory and a delayed ability to process information around them, Zab first focuses on the colors, textures and senses of a space or memory. Impressions translate into concept and blend with materiality, ultimately classifying them a visually unreliable narrator.
