Zenith Gebhardt
Zenith Daniel Gebhardt is from the state of Punjab in Northern India. From her early childhood she was fascinated by the vibrant colors and patterns around her, which inspired her to draw, paint, and sculpt.
While attending an art class in college, she entered a national competition and received second place for a landscape in oil. After attaining multiple degrees in the liberal arts, she became an educator in India. In the early 70’s, she moved to Los Angeles with her husband and settled in the community of Westchester where they raised their two children.
For 20 years, Zenith taught Adult Education in the Los Angeles Unified School District. She also owned and operated a Kumon Math and Reading Center for 20 years. Throughout her many years in education, Zenith never lost touch with her curiosity and drive to create art. She painted whenever possible and visited art galleries both locally and while traveling the world. After retiring and with the encouragement of her family, she threw herself into painting full time.
Zenith is a member of the Pacific Art Guild, and has studied with various artists and teachers. Over the past six years her paintings have won many awards at local art shows. Zenith's inspiration comes from constantly changing nature. She endeavors to capture the splendor of nature all around us. She hopes that in this busy life we all make time to witness the wonders of nature around us.
Professional art accomplishments include sales to private art collectors, and participation in art auctions and various exhibits. Zenith is a multimedia artist and is currently doing commission work.
