With a Ph.D. in Literature – including a concentration in Aesthetics – from the City University of New York (CUNY), Dr. Van Zon is sensitive to the philosophy that connects human beings to nature, the expression of beauty, the laws of perception, and the highlights of living experiences.
With the breadth and depth of Ms. Van Zon’s language skills – in English, German, French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish and Mandarin – she began her academic career in writing and teaching. Two areas of particular interest to Van Zon is Feng Shui, the ancient art of Chinese placement and Chinese art forms, including Mandarin, Chinese brush & ink painting, Chinese calligraphy, Tai Chi and Qi Gong. Van Zon has devoted the equivalent of twenty years to her Chinese art form studies. Special interests and specific expertise are “Feng Shui Eyes Looking at Art.”
In 2000 Van Zon became a certified feng shui practitioner in the contemporary western school of feng shui, Pyramid Feng Shui, developed by Nancilee Wydra, through the Feng Shui Institute of America. In 2002, Dr. Van Zon founded Feng Shui Universal, a business that is based in Florida but spans the nation with mobile consultations and teaching. Dr. Van Zon travels to numerous assignments nationwide, while serving her regular clientele in Florida, California, Nevada, Colorado and Wisconsin.
