About
Artist. Author. Advocate.
Australia’s Creativity Advocate
Zahrina Robertson is a multi-award-winning artist, keynote speaker and author of five books, known internationally for one improbable, true story. Zahrina's the master of creativity. Having spent fifteen years building the public image of some of the world’s most recognised names, and then built her own.
Her advocacy for creativity means more now in a world of disconnect.
From Exclusion to Inclusion
Walking into an art gallery can be intimidating for anyone. Zahrina felt it before she was an artist... and still felt it after she was discovered by a New York gallery and saw her own work lit up on a Times Square billboard.
That tension between belonging and exclusion became the seed of her latest book, How to Be an Art Snob… Even If You’re Not One!, a witty unpacking of art-world gatekeeping, creative confidence and what it actually takes to feel at home in a room full of art.
Fifteen Years Building Brands That Move People
Before her own name was the one in lights, Zahrina spent fifteen years as Australia's leading personal brand photographer, video producer and visual brand strategist, trusted by global icons including Richard Branson, Tim Ferriss, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Her earlier career also includes branding and marketing work for LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton). That decade and a half spent translating presence, story and personality into image is the same instinct now driving her art, her speaking and her advocacy, an understanding of what makes a person, a brand or a moment genuinely unforgettable.
Creativity For Modern Life
As a keynote speaker and the founder of Paint & Walk™, Zahrina guides high-achievers to disconnect from digital noise and reconnect with their own creative essence...built on three pillars: connection, creativity and conservation.
Her sessions blend the candour of someone who has worked closely with the world’s most visible people, with the grounded, practical wisdom of an artist who knows that productivity without creativity is hollow.
Art That Protects, Not Just Inspires
Zahrina sits on Taronga Zoo’s Board Committee, shaping donor engagement with her ideas, artworks and conservation storytelling, proof that, for her, creativity and conservation are not separate missions but one. Every talk, partnership and collection she creates is designed to channel attention toward measurable impact for wildlife and our planet.
