HEY!
Zippy (Zipporah) is an Irish Visual Artist based between Belfast & London working in the realms of mural art, illustration and textile art .
Zippy creates large-scale, bold, crisp, typographic-based murals throughout the UK and beyond. Her work often takes reference from experimentation of letter formation, pop culture and is busting with tongue n' cheek themes and punchy colour schemes.
She has 12 years of collective experience working within the creative sector from the film & TV sector to mural and illustration work for large commercial companies and independent brands. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group shows across galleries throughout the UK and Ireland alongside painting at several large scale street art festivals.
​
She is a proud member of the MINAW COLLECTIVE - An all-female street art collective based in Ireland &
WOM COLLECTIVE A grassroots collective of female artists based in London
​
She is represented by USFOLK - A Belfast based Illustration agency.
