Bio

      Zoee Rasso is a 21-year-old, first year student in Georgia State's Drawing and Painting MFA program. She graduated with Honors and a BFA concentrated in painting from Columbus State University in 2026.

   Continually inspired by birds, Zoee’s work seeks to inspire care for the environment through their stylized depiction. Drawing from environmental history, cultural symbolism, and personal memory, her work investigates how nonhuman life is aestheticized, overlooked, and remembered within contemporary visual culture.

    During Zoee’s time at Columbus State, she has completed four studio internships with CSU faculty, studied abroad in both Japan and Italy, and completed a summer residency at Penland School of Craft. She has also had her work exhibited at the 2026 International Printmaking Exhibition, the Highland Galerie, and held a solo exhibition at Oxbow Meadows.
