Brenda Zuk was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, in 1961 and was raised in Elora, Ontario. She received a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Fashion Design, in 1988 at Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario.
Her knitwear design business, Needle Beetle, was launched in the fall of 1993.
She is an artist of many talents and has been drawing and painting for as long as she can remember.
Combining that history with a degree in fashion design results in designs which are realistic, intricate, vibrant and honestly refreshing.

Brenda's extensive gardens are home to the flowers and creatures that are the special inspiration for many of her knitted nature studies. She envisions the finished piece in her mind, working it out mathematically on paper long before the yarn and needles ever meet.
The intarsia, lace and textural designs can then emerge from the needles, just as Brenda first saw them, to become the perfect portrait of a timber wolf or lacy butterfly.
