Zoe Hundevad is a commissioned watercolor and sculpting artist whose work captures the quiet personality of animals with careful observation and gentle technique. She began taking commissions at age 20, developing a precise, empathetic approach to watercolor portraiture that highlights each subject’s subtle gestures and expressions.

A chance encounter with a ceramics oven stored in her home temporarily rekindled Zoe’s curiosity about three-dimensional form and led her to explore working with clay. She now combines hand-sculpted forms with painted details to create pieces that feel both lifelike and personal.

Zoe’s work is guided by a deep, longstanding connection to pets. She pays close attention to the small, defining moments—the crooked ear, the guilty stare, the dawn-time breakfast beg, the way a dog flops onto the sofa as if it owns the place—and translates those quirks into every commission. Each piece is made by hand with an emphasis on capturing character rather than exact likeness, resulting in heartfelt, tactile tributes that celebrate the bond between people and their animals.
