Early life
Zackary Drucker was born in 1983 and raised in Syracuse, New York by what she calls "two really fantastic, progressive, educated parents." She earned an M.F.A. from the California Institute of the Arts in 2007 and a B.F.A. from the School of Visual Arts in 2005. In 2006, Drucker made her first television appearance as a contestant on Jeffrey Deitch’s Artstar.
After graduating from CalArts in 2007, Drucker decided to stay in Los Angeles. Photographs from her graduate thesis show, "5 East 73rd Street", feature photographs of mentor Flawless Sabrina. That same year, her work was included in a group exhibition called Girly Show: Pin-ups, Zines & the So-Called Third Wave at the Wignall Museum of Contemporary Art at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga.
Career
In 2011, Drucker and photographer Amos Mac collaborated to make a series of photographs in Drucker’s hometown of Syracuse, titled “Home is Where the Heart is, Distance is Where You Hang Your Heart.” This series was also published in magazine form, titled "TransLady Fanzine".
Drucker and collaborator Rhys Ernst were included in the first iteration of the Hammer/LAX Art biennial. There they premiered the film "She Gone Rogue" and the film was also included in Outfest 2013. "She Gone Rogue" includes several of Drucker's mentors including Holly Woodlawn, Vaginal Davis, and Flawless Sabrina.
In 2014 Drucker and Ernst exhibited "Relationship", at the Whitney Biennial, through a series of photos that chronicled the process and evolution of the couple's relationship and gender transitions. The photographic series was later exhibited at Luis De Jesus Gallery, where Drucker is represented. In 2016, “Relationship” was released as a book.
Since 2013 Drucker has worked as a consultant and producer on Amazon's original series Transparent.
In 2015, Drucker joined the cast of the E! docu-series, I Am Cait. She was also served as a supervising producer on the Emmy-nominated series of docu-shorts, This is Me.
In 2017, Drucker collaborated with the ACLU, Laverne Cox, Molly Crabapple, and Kim Boekbinder, in making a video about transgender history and resistance, called "Time Marches Forward & So Do We".
Drucker continues her art practice, working independently on film and photography projects.
