Raised in Montreal, Canada but based in San Francisco since 1987, Zeph published a queer community zine in the 90s and illustrated eight feminist sex education books before branching into more interactive work as a tattoo artist, sculptor and explorer of public space. Her public interventions have included street art against the war, a queer erotic film night in an off-hours train tunnel, and MUNI Royale, a sofa that fits over a double bus seat and sparks conversation with comfort-seeking commuters.
In 2005 she received a grant with a group of California College of the Arts students to lead art workshops in a former guerrilla town of El Salvador. She received her BFA from CCA in 2006, specializing in kinetic and interactive works.
She is co-Art Director of Maggots and Men, an experimental film twisting the Russian Revolution to queer ends. Since August 2007 she has been collaborating with the Beehive Design Collective and is now working on their newest project, a large-scale graphic about coal mining.
