A lifelong New Yorker, Zeus’s artmaking began during her grade-school years, when she created complex doodles in the margins of daily newspapers. She holds a BS in World Gender and Women’s Studies from CUNY. Zeus’s art presents bold statements on race, class, gender, abuse and trauma, with these subject matters woven together to striking effect. Zeus's love for her heritage strongly informs her work; her pieces highlight the history of Black people, the fierce circumstances that impacted and oppressed their existence, and their resilience and legacy of liberation. These elements also play a major role in her healing from childhood trauma. Zeus’s creativity derives in part from family members gifted in the art of creating from scratch and repurposing, practices that continue to inspire her creative expression and manifest in her multi-dimensional collages and assemblages. Among the multitude of materials utilized in her work are acrylic, marker, rope, glass, rhinestones, paper, fabric, metals, photographs, buttons, wire, and mesh. A New York Times piece – one of a series that "discovered" artists on Instagram during the pandemic – described her work as "stunning.” Zeus’s pieces have been presented at the Outsider Art Fair, and she is a recipient of a Jamie Drake Scholarship for study of decorative arts at the Alpha Workshops.
