Z Galeria in Sayulita, located on Revolucion on the north side of the bridge, displays a variety of encaustic artwork created by artist Zoey Pierce. The encaustic medium is a mixture of wax, damar and colored pigments. These beautiful pieces are inspired by the colors of Mexico, nature, and the ocean. Artist Zoey Pierce has established herself both as an artist and art teacher. She offers encaustic workshops in her studio at the gallery.

About the Artist:

Zoey attended Boise State University and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in Printmaking and a minor in Psychology. She holds a Masters Degree in Art Therapy and Counseling from Southwestern in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Prior to coming to Sayulita for the first time in March of 2012 and then deciding to make Sayulita her full-time home, Zoey was an art teacher at a private school, Community School in Sun Valley, Idaho.

It was in October 2013 that Zoey officially made Sayulita her home. Zoey opened Z Galeria and it has been well-received in the Sayulita community as people grow an appreciation and desire for more contemporary art in their homes. When Zoey is not in her gallery, she is either on the water or learning Spanish.

What is encaustic painting?

Using heated wax, which can be beeswax, carnauba, paraffin, and microcrystalline combined with colored pigments. Zoey will use a combination of waxes in her art. The wax combination depends on what type of appearance Zoey is striving for.

How old is the encaustic technique?

A visual display of encaustic painting has been linked to the fourth century B.C. The most famous artist of contemporary encaustic begins with Jasper Johns in 1954.

Will an encaustic painting melt?

It would take severe direct heat to harm a painting approximately 120-150 degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, extreme cold temperatures can cause the wax to become brittle and lead to cracking.

Tips on taking care of your encaustic piece:

Gently wipe your piece with a soft cloth as necessary to remove dust or bloom. Avoid touching the piece because the surface is vulnerable to scratching. Be mindful of putting your piece in extreme heat or cold. Most importantly enjoy your encaustic piece.

Gallery Hours:
Monday – Friday: 11 AM -until she feels like closing
Sometimes on Saturday
Sunday surfing!

Terrific art class at Z Galeria!

I was drawn into the Z Galeria by the beautiful art in the windows. The artist, Zoe,
told me about her encaustic art process and her pieces on display. I was so inspired by
her enthusiasm that I returned a few days later to take a beginning class.

What a fun day and memorable experience it was. I was able to paint with the hot wax
and use the torch to finish my two most wonderful souvenirs from Sayulita!

MAGIC HAPPENS with ZOEY at Z GALLERIA

While wandering the streets of Sayulita, the brilliantly colored works hanging on the walls pulled us in to the small gallery - Z Galleria. What serendipity! I knew immediately it was encaustic, an art form using melted wax I had loved and wondered about for 30 years. Zoey came out of the back workshop, and we proceeded to chat with this delightful and engaging artist about her amazing art and career. We learned she gave classes, and immediately signed up!

In the 2 hour class, the two of us (her limit in classes is 3) learned a brief history of encaustic, then basic materials and techniques. On a hot plate before us was a smorgasbord of about 15 tuna cans filled with the yummiest colors imaginable; we got two wooden boards each, and with that, just like in Where the Wild Things Are, we let the magic begin! I've rarely been so excited when learning something new! With Zoey's guidance, ongoing instruction, and encouragement to experiment with colors and techniques, we were like kids in a candy shop. The two hours passed like a flash! When we left we each had two unique, fantastic pieces of original encaustic!

Besides being an amazing artist, (I wanted to buy EACH piece on the walls!) Zoey is full of enthusiasm, friendliness, and openness! It was such a JOY to have the opportunity to meet and learn from her. Because of her background as a teacher, her instruction methods were right on - not tedious but not skimpy; oriented toward self-discovery and having fun. For us, she was certainly the highlight of a week in Sayulita! Do not miss her!!

Vibrant art and artist

At a charity auction in Sayulita we bid on a beautiful piece of Zoey Pierce's art and we won! We stopped by her studio where she put a protective wrapping on it for the trip home. It now hangs in our entry and serves as a colorful reminder of the ocean and Sayulita.

Beautiful Art Travels from Sayulita to Colorado!

After a year of dreaming about Zoey's art we found a piece we loved on our trip down this year and brought it back to Colorado! We were worried about bringing the piece onto the plane but everything went smoothly. Zoey helped us wrap the art piece (1'x5') in cardboard and bubble wrap. Southwest let us know that you cannot take wood through the security screening so we had to check the art. We felt pretty good about how well we wrapped it and Southwest was awesome about putting over 10 Fragile stickers all over it and then they walked it down to the airplane for us! When we arrived in Colorado, the art piece was located in the oversize baggage area and in one piece! We were thrilled and thankful that Zoey helped us wrap it so well. We are excited to have a piece of Zoey's beautiful ocean wave pieces in our bedroom to remind us of the Sayulita beach we love! Thank you!

The best art class!!

I had the best time creating art with Zoey! It didn't feel like a class, but girls hanging out and getting creative! Zoey's energy guides your creativity out of your head and onto something tangible that is yours forever. Time flew by with lots of fun and laughs. Highly recommend this!

Painting Party - highlight of our wedding

Zoey came up to Villa Amor and provided us with the most unique, memorable wedding activity for my closest friends attending my wedding! She brought paint, Sayulita art, and other items for us to create beautiful memories to take back and remind us of Sayulita.

I highly, highly recommend Zoey as both an artist and person! If you have the opportunity, book her for a private painting party with your friends. We literally had the best time with her, and we have beautiful pieces of artwork to bring home.

So good I went back!

I'm an artist, and since I was staying here for a month, I was looking for the possibility of taking some workshops as a way to stay creative and learn new things. I found Zoey through this website and was overjoyed to learn she offers encaustic workshops; I'd been wanting to learn for years.

The first session was all about learning the {fascinating and very satisfying!} process, and starting to get a feel for how it might weave into my current way of doing things as a painter. It was so much fun and such a rich experience I went back for a second workshop! That worked out really well because I'd assimilated what I'd learned the first time and was able to play and experiment more, and find my own way of approaching it.

Zoey is a great teacher; so enthusiastic and passionate about the medium, and right there with you as you learn how it all works, ready with suggestions and encouragement. I highly recommend a workshop with her if you're curious about learning a new medium, or even if you've done it before. The possibilities are truly endless with this process, and it's a super way to create your own little souvenir of your time here.

What a fabulous experience!

My husband and I commissioned Zoey to create a piece of art for us. She walked us through each step of the process like a pro and even involved us in the process...that's the first time an artist has actually included us:-) I have to say she was fantastic to work with and the end result was a gorgeous piece of art! We could not be happier! Thank you Zoey!!

Beautiful art and great service!

I recently purchased two art pieces from Zoey at Z Galeria- one for myself and one for a wedding gift. Her art work is just beautiful and she is so easy to work with. She prepared the art to send to my friends, and even made a beautiful card to go with it!! I would wholeheartedly recommend her. Thanks so much, Zoey!!!

So Cool

We are regulars to Sayulita and love this little gallery. Zoey is very friendly and has made this magical town her home. Her artwork is wonderful and bright. She captures the local vibe in a bold modern way. My husband and I are in the architectural and design profession and so are always on the lookout for "the gems"...this is one.
