Her art explores the overlapping edges of diverse cultures, celebrating both diversity and connection, to better understand that what we have in common is much greater than what divides us.
The cultural symbolism in each art work is deeply researched, combined with meaningful quotes, then embellished with the urban graffiti she collects (benches) from trains passing through the remote Missouri River valley of her southwest Montana home.
Liz Chappie-Zoller is an award-winning contemporary mixed media artist whose Pearl Snap Studio is located in a remote Missouri River valley north of Three Forks MT.
Her career experience includes technical and medical illustration, graphic design, interior design, and commercial art. She taught Interior Design at Montana State University for just shy of ten years, and is in her tenth year of coaching for the Montana Arts Council’s Montana Artrepreneur Program (MAP), an NEA-recognized business development course for visual artists.
Liz's art education includes a Bachelor of Fine Art degree from the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning, workshops with landscape artists Mike Hernandez and Frank Serrano, Native American artist Kevin Red Star, landscape artist Greg Scheibel, and an internship with Native American artist DG House.
Additionally, Chappie-Zoller is an Officier Académicienne at Mondial Art Academie in Aimargues, France, a member of the Society of Equestrian Artists (UK), and a former member of American Association of Equine Art, Associate member of Oil Painters of America (OPA), and American Women Artists (AWA).
Her work is shown online at Mondial Art Academie (France) and Saatchi.com, and at Livingston Center for Art and Culture in Livingston MT, The Depot Gallery in Red Lodge MT, and can be found in private collections in South Africa, Canada, the UK, and across the United States.
