Zach is an interdisciplinary artist, focused on divergent methodologies in painting, installation, and stop-motion animation. In his studio practice, he portrays local labor unions and familiar objects, like BBQ grills. His work is assertively political and intimately heartfelt. Both the advocative and humanist themes are personal.

Zach received his BA from the University of Pennsylvania and his MFA from Boston University.

He has exhibited in multiple museum exhibitions, such as the Maine Maritime Museum, the Museum of Work & Culture, the American Labor Museum, UMaine Museum of Art, the Commonwealth Museum, the Art Complex Museum, the Gibson House Museum, the Attleboro Arts Museum, the Alexandria Museum of Art, and the Brownsville Museum of Fine Art. He has shown with numerous galleries and academic institutions throughout the country (and in Ireland). His work is represented by Asterisk Projects, New York, NY, Appleton Art & Design, Westport, CT, in the Boston Drawing Project at Carroll & Sons Gallery, Boston, MA, and in the flat files at Lamontagne Gallery, Boston, MA. He is a contributing critic to Collect Magazine, Big, Red & Shiny, and Art Practical. He is the recipient of grants from the Blanche E. Colman Trust, the Puffin Foundation, the UMass Boston Labor Resource Center, and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

Zach is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Massachusetts Boston. He lives in Boston, Massachusetts with his wife and three ebullient sons.
