About

My name is Foxfeather Zenkova, and I live in Minnesota. I like the trees, I love the cold, I think overall the state is a pretty good match for me.

Let’s see…I was born in November of 1982, and that’s my picture over there; I’m Zen the crow’s favorite perch. I am female, and about 5′11″ tall. I attended the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, studying both Studio Arts and American Indian studies. I am fully self-employed as a freelance artist and herpetoculturalist. I share my home with my wonderful husband, Roman, and a small menagerie of critters that I consider my ‘children’. I love to work with animals, and get along better with most of them than most of humankind.

I have a strong love for all winged, furred and scaled things, and have a particularly strong connection to foxes and wild boars. I am a spiritual therianthrope, and my name stems from this. I love to read, I like to write, I love pretty much all types of art. I enjoy my time alone, and I cannot stand cities. I would be happiest out in the ‘middle of nowhere’ with my back propped against a tree and a sketchbook in my hand. I think that says more about my mindset than most anything else I could express.

I am open minded, but opinionated. If I had to pick my favorite ‘hobby’ areas of study (other than the obvious) - paleontology, biology, and philosophy would be on the top of my list. I have very eclectic music tastes; I will listen to most anything except rap. I work a lot, love animals, and am a lifetime learner.
