A graduate of Maryland Institute College of Art, Zahares’ work has been singled out by Time Magazine and The New York Times as among the very best picture books of 1998. His work is sold through selected galleries throughout New England, is in many private and corporate collections, and the permanent collection at the Decordova Museum of Art in Lincoln, Massachusetts.
