Notes:
Zona Wale was born in 1930 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, and survived German occupation of Yugoslavia and tuberculosis at age sixteen. She graduated from Belgrade University with a degree in literature and linguistics, and escaped Serbia for England in 1957 by bribing Communist officials. In London, she married David Wale, a physician with the British army, and in 1969 they moved to Canada and settled in Regina, Saskatchewan. During the 1980s Zone Wale took up painting and studied under teachers in Belgrade and Canada. She eventually learned Spanish, her fifth language, to study art in Spain and Mexico. Wale moved to Chilliwack, British Columbia, in 1996, and was a founding member of the Chilliwack Arts Society. Zona Wale died in 2014, in Chilliwack.
