Zanny is a multidisciplinary artist based in Austin, Texas, whose work draws deeply from her Mexican, Kickapoo, and Irish heritage. Rooted in old-world techniques, her practice honors ancestral voices while pushing craft into the present. Through handweaving and goldsmithing, she preserves historical traditions, yet reimagines them through a modern lens. The result is a body of work that blurs the boundaries between art, culture, and fashion.

Zanny was born in Austin, Texas, and spent her childhood in the countryside, riding horses and living on a farm about two hours outside the city. From a young age, she was drawn to Native crafts like braiding and beading, often practicing on the manes and tails of her horses. She began bead weaving early, creating handmade gifts for friends and family, and later taught herself to weave textiles and work with precious metals.

Her art is a deeply personal exploration of ancestry and inherited knowledge, an ongoing dialogue with the traditions of those who came before her. When she's not weaving or hammering in her forge, Zanny enjoys spending time with her two teenage sons, reading Tolkien, and tending to her garden.
