Zaro has done many group and solo exhibitions through the US and Canada. Zaro’s exceptional artistic talents were first appreciated by her classmates, in the late 40’s in Alexandria. At the end of the school year, buying fancy notebooks, called "autographe"–the prototype of today’s yearbooks–in which students express their thoughts and well wishes. Zaro’s inscriptions were prized above all, because they were always illustrated with their warm watercolor drawings and unusual designs. The artists reflective nature is apparent in all of her compositions. Recurrent themes include: innocence, motherhood, music, dance, spirituality and children at play. Among the many worthy projects that the ARS Nairy chapter sponsors, the preschool is the one that best complemen’s Zaro’s artistic sensibility.
