Nancy Mahanna 'Zoda'
Intuitive Artist | Designer | Visual Storyteller
In a sun-drenched kitchen in the Midwest. A young girl with wild eyes and wilder dreams dips her fingers into her mother’s freshly pressed fruit juice—not to taste, but to dye yarn the color of fire. That girl was Nancy Mahanna Przygoda. Today, the world knows her simply as Zoda.
What began with fruit-stained fingers evolved into an extraordinary life of artistry that spans continents, cultures, and generations. Zoda is not just an intuitive artist—she is a force of nature, channeling her Lebanese ancestral history and modern elegance into each stroke of her brush. Her mediums range from oils to gold leaf, her materials both sacred and earthy, her canvases are portals into the layered soul of our shared human story.
