Zena Bernstein has a BFA from Syracuse University. She began her career as a book illustrator in New York City. Zena uses a combination of watercolor and acrylics in her work. Through a meticulous process, she carefully places several layers of dots of pure color to suggest subtle tones and shades. She refers to her creative work as a labor of love. Her drawings range from the natural world of mushrooms and insects to the unseen world of fairies and gnomes. Sheâ€Ös perhaps best known for illustrating the childrenâ€Ös book Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. Zena currently calls Canada home; itâ€Ös also the home of the fairies she draws and writes about.
