Quia Z Atkinson (QZdesigngallery.com) is a contemporary mixed media artist and owner of QZ Design Gallery who lives and works in Tallahassee, Florida. Atkinson earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Florida A&M University and a minor in military science. She never thought that her educational journey would lead her to a career in the art world.
Quia explains, "I am continually learning & experimenting with new techniques and consistently challenging myself on this journey. Every artwork starts as merely an idea in my mind and once the resin and paint start to flow I have no choice but to follow it wherever it leads me. The ability to create is a gift from God and it is deeply rewarding to materialize my ideas into reality. "
