An artist by training, an educator by profession, Zarina holds a Bachelor's Degree (hons)in fine arts from UITM Sah Alam. Her artistic career began in 1999, with active participation in numerous art competitions and exhibitions.Zarina secured a SOLO at the NSTP Art Exhibition Center in 2005, entitled "SWEET CARGO". Among the highlight of her career was winning the Grand Prize NOKIA ART AWARD in 2002.Her collaboration with government agencies has granted her exhibitions at Kustem Terengganu, Museum Losong Terengganu , Batu Nesan Pulau Omadal, Samporna , Sabah, UPM Bangi, Perak State Gallery, MPIK, Kajang, Selangor and KL Libraries.

Amongst the private collectors are Dato' Seri Idris Jusoh, Datin Amar Elizabeth Moggie , Tanjong Jara Resort and avid international art collectors from Russia, Germany, Japan , Brunei and Australia.
the Trishaw Series or "Siri Beca" represented the beginning of my artistic journey towards creating a distinctive style. Through the use of bold strokes and interesting perspectives, I attempted to unveil the hadship faced by the trishaw peddlers as they eked out an honest living.
"Sweet Cargo" is a continuation of this series focusing on the trishaw from a slightly different perspective. To breathe greater life into these new works, i incorporated more vibrant colors especially onto the different torpical fruits I have included, hence the title. This is perhaps a reflection of the youthful energy I paint with at this juncture of my career as an artist.
I hope to continue evolving in my style and approaches, to further develop my God given talent and to always create works that touch my audience in a profound way.
