Zale Funston (b. 2001, Philadelphia) is a Miami-based painter whose work investigates the body as both vessel and landscape—an arena where memory, desire, and escape converge. Guided by an intuitive approach to image-making, Funston constructs layered, atmospheric compositions that pulse with emotional tension. Her paintings often blur the line between figuration and abstraction, capturing fleeting moments of intimacy and introspection. Through this interplay of gesture and restraint, she transforms personal experience into a universal language of longing, reflection, and reverie.
