Zann is best known for her photorealistic oil portraits of dogs, cats, and other animals. But she also works in acrylic, painting colourful landscapes and abstracts on paper and canvas.

Oil paints have allowed Zann to work wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry to capture a beautiful variety of fur textures. In her portraits, she uses oils to slowly build an animal's likeness from the ground up. The translucence of oil paints brings depth and life into the final portraits, so you can almost believe they're looking out at you.

Acrylics have been a creative outlet separate from Zann's professional portraiture work that have made room for experimentation and play, keeping her practise fresh.
