Artist Spotlight: Zandra Jack-Edwards

This week’s Creative Spotlight is shining on Zandra Jack-Edwards, a Digital & Mixed Media Artist based out of Toronto, Ontario.

Known as @unkwnzj on social media, Zandra’s work is a bold celebration of Black culture—rich with rhythm, history, and color.⁣ Every piece she creates carries a story, a heartbeat, and a sense of movement that draws viewers in. For Zandra, creating is more than art—it’s therapy, meditation, and truth-telling. Her process is both deeply personal and profoundly communal, connecting her own experiences with the wider cultural narrative.⁣ She challenges tradition and expectation, blending emotion and technique to produce a body of work that feels as freeing as it looks—a vibrant testament to the power of expression.
