Zachary Schomburg

Zachary Schomburg is a painter working with acrylics who is inspired by the loose energy and bright masses of artists like Helen Frankenthaler and Etel Adnan. For Schomburg, who is also a poet, painting is an act of letting go, of sustaining surprise, and of listening. Schomburg is also the author of 6 books of poems, a novel, and a publisher of an independent poetry press.
