About

Well, my name is Foxfeather Zenkova, and I live in Minnesota. I like the trees, I love the cold, and I like being able to drive an hour in any direction and get away from all city lights and most human beings.

Let’s see…I was born in November of 1982, and that’s my picture over there; in my leather ‘crow-feather’ cloak. I am female, and about 5′11″ tall. I attended the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, studying both Studio Arts and American Indian studies. I work part time for the Mayo Clinic in Rochester in addition to being self-employed as a freelance artist. I share my home with a small menagerie of critters that I consider my ‘children’. I love to work with animals, and get along better with most of them than most of humankind.

I have a strong love for all winged, furred and scaled things, and have a particularly strong connection is to foxes and wild boars. I am a spiritual therianthrope, and my name stems from this. I love to read, I like to write, I love pretty much all forms of art. I enjoy my time alone, and I cannot stand cities. I would be happiest out in the ‘middle of nowhere’ with my back propped against a tree and a sketchbook in my hand. I think that says more about my mindset than most anything else I could express.

I am open minded, but very opinionated. I love to learn. If I had to pick my favorite ‘hobby’ areas of study (other than the obvious) - paleontology, geology, and philosophy would be on the top of my list. I have very eclectic music tastes; I will listen to most anything save for rap. I prefer alternative/heavy metal/rock, but listen to a lot of classic rock and instrumental music as well. I have stuck some of my most time consuming hobbies over on the interests page, as well. I work a lot, love animals, and am a lifetime learner.
