Bee Wild Auction X Zara Muse
The story behind The Keeper, a painting inspired by Angelina Jolie's iconic bee conservation portrait, created for National Geographic by photographer Dan Winters.
From the very beginning, I wanted this piece to feel both delicate and powerful, a reflection on beauty, fragility and our relationship with the natural world, told through the symbolism of bees. It was hand-painted in acrylic on canvas, and it carried a great deal of meaning for me from the first brushstroke.
The piece went to auction at the Cannes Film Festival as part of the bee:wild auction, run by TIME France and the bee:wild campaign, a charity co-founded by Leonardo DiCaprio. All proceeds went directly towards protecting the pollinators our ecosystems depend on. Being selected for such an important evening, after all the work that went into the piece, meant a great deal to me.
The Keeper sold for £70,000. Being part of the bee:wild evening, and knowing the piece went on to support a cause I care about, made the whole experience one I'll always remember.
Monaco F1 X Zara Muse
My trip to Monaco brought together art, racing and generosity in one place. Over the course of the Grand Prix weekend, one of my paintings, a piece that had travelled with me from the first sketches, through every layer, every doubt, and every moment it felt like it might not come together, took its place as one of the headline works aboard Stardom Yacht, in support of the Eddie Jordan Foundation, a charity set up in memory of the late Formula 1 team owner Eddie Jordan.
There's something special about watching a piece go on that kind of journey, the mess, the layers, the moments of doubt, and then the moment it suddenly starts to breathe. Seeing it presented aboard the yacht, in support of a cause like this, made the whole experience feel even more meaningful.
For me, the trip was about more than the race itself. It was about seeing something so personal to create take its place in a setting like that, while supporting people who care about giving back. It was a once-in-a-lifetime evening, in a once-in-a-lifetime setting, as part of a collection I'm incredibly proud to share.
Astrea X Sarah Jessica Parker
In Dubai, I had the pleasure of attending an intimate desert dinner hosted by Astrea London, an evening set under the stars and filled with live performances and beautiful craftsmanship. Actress Sarah Jessica Parker was also there, adding to what already felt like a special night.
My work was displayed at the dinner, adorned with Astrea diamonds, something I never imagined when I first began creating. Seeing my art presented on such a well known luxury stage in the UAE felt like a real milestone, one I will always carry with me.
The evening came from my collaboration with Astrea London, built on trust and a shared appreciation for craftsmanship. Being part of a night that brought together art, luxury and good company felt surreal, grounding and motivating all at once. It reminded me why I do what I do, and gave me a moment to reflect on how far my work has come while looking ahead to what's still to come.
Abu Dhabi F1 X Zara Muse
My trip to Abu Dhabi brought together art, racing and generosity in one place. Over the course of a few days in the city, she took part in a yacht auction and had pitlane access at the Grand Prix, all part of an effort to support a good cause.
The auction was led by Tom Best, a professional auctioneer known for running charity sales with skill and energy. Jeweller Astrea London joined the collaboration, working alongside Zara Muse to help bring the event together. The funds raised went to the Eddie Jordan Foundation, a charity set up in memory of the late Formula 1 team owner Eddie Jordan.
For Me, the trip was about more than the race itself. Being part of an event that combined her love of art with racing and charity work meant a great deal to her. It brought together people who care about giving back, and showed how art can play a part in supporting causes that matter. Moments like these are a reminder of why she continues to create and share her work with others.
Diwali Reverie
My Diwali Reverie brings together eleven paintings that capture the spirit of a journey through India: the lamps in Jaipur, the mirrored walls in Udaipur, and the busy streets of Mumbai. The collection went up for sale online, with the auction wrapping up at a live event at Fairmont Windsor Park. The collection went up for sale online from 17 October, and the auction wrapped up with a live event on the evening of 23 October at Fairmont Windsor Park.
Actress Meera Syal hosted the night, and chef Atul Kochhar put together a Diwali-themed menu to go with it. Edward Rising, who used to work at Sotheby's, ran the auction, which brought in £120,750 altogether. Of that, £6,037.50 (5%) went to The Arora Charitable Foundation. It was one of the biggest moments yet for Zara, bringing together British art and Indian culture in one evening.
Quaglino’s Becomes a Living Art Space
I’m thrilled to announce that this October, I’ll be joining Quaglino’s London for a truly special collaboration in celebration of Frieze London. For the first time in my career, I’ll be creating a live installation, reimagining one of Quaglino’s iconic columns, first painted by Conran’s artists in 1993, and transforming the space into a living, breathing expression of contemporary art.
This marks my first-ever live painting performance, a moment that feels both deeply personal and creatively liberating. From 7pm on Wednesday 15th October, I’ll be adding the final layers to a piece that explores themes of emotion, connection, and the strength of femininity, a reflection of the stories and energy that continue to inspire my work.
The finished piece will remain on display at Quaglino’s until 2nd November, allowing guests to experience the artwork in one of London’s most iconic settings.
Book your table directly with Quaglino’s and mention that you’ve come from the Zara Muse website to witness this special moment.
Kaizen Furniture x Zara Muse | Beyond the Frame
In September 2025, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Kaizen Furniture on Beyond the Frame an exhibition that explored the meeting point between contemporary art and innovative design. The collection celebrated the dialogue between canvas and creation, as my latest works were applied directly to Kaizen’s handcrafted cabinets and panels.
Each piece became more than furniture, it was transformed into a tactile expression of form, texture, and emotion, bringing art into the heart of interior design. The result was a body of work that blurred boundaries between function and fine art, inviting viewers to see beauty not just on the wall, but within the spaces they live in.
