About Walking in the Wild Studio

Located in Perth, Western Australia, Walking in the Wild Studio is the creative space of artist and facilitator Zoë Wittber, where nature, colour, and imagination meet through original artworks, commissions, and creative workshops.

About Zoë

Zoë works with layered washes, detailed line work, and patterned textures to create pieces that sit somewhere between real and dream. Animals, plants and small symbols appear across her work, each carrying a quiet story.

Her practice is slow and intuitive. Many pieces begin with loose colour, then sharpen into focus as patterns, shapes, and tiny details are added by hand.

Zoë shares this practice through original works, commissions, and workshops that invite people to explore colour and story at their own pace.

Studio philosophy

Walking in the Wild Studio is built on the belief that creativity should feel grounding and accessible. The studio is a space where adults and children can slow down, notice small details, and enjoy the feeling of making something with their hands.

What inspires the work

  • Animal guides, wings, fur, and feathers
  • Botanical forms and succulents
