Zoya is a Wellington based full time professional jeweller. She has received awards and sponsorship from the New Zealand Arts Council. 

Her unique style of work is sold throughout the country and is well received by local and overseas buyers. “I seek to achieve excellence in my work and continually explore new directions in jewellery materials and design. My jewellery is a creative medium by which I express what I value and my social and environmental concerns. The materials I use reflect my desire for the cessation of the exploitation of natural resources and the creation of a national and global caring for the earth. My techniques celebrate the contribution of indigenous art to New Zealand with the aim of promoting an understanding and valuing of indigenous culture”
