QZ Design Gallery Quia Z Atkinson
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.
Atkinson has received widespread recognition for her vibrant artwork. She has been published by multiple media outlets including both the covers of Tallahassee Woman Magazine and Tallahassee Magazine & named as one of Tallahassee’s 25 Women You Need To Know! Her art and home decor have also been featured in Travel Pulse Magazine (N.J), Bay Magazine (Tampa), Tallahassee Democrat, Greater Works TV Network and Visit Tallahassee .Atkinson’s artwork was chosen as the ‘cover art’ for Big Bend Cares Artopia which is the largest charity art auction in Florida’s capital. She has also served as a judge for ArtsQuest in Sandestin which brings in over 5,000 people and 100 artisans.
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. “
