Now hanging in the Base Gallery through June 22, the incredible work of Liz Chappie-Zoller ✨

Inspired by life in the American West, Liz’s mixed media paintings are filled with story, craftsmanship, and layered detail. From colts and fillies to cottonwoods and wildlife, each piece blends soft organic forms with bold geometric patterns inspired by saddle blankets, Navajo weaving, and American quilts. Look closely and you’ll even spot hidden quotes, lyrics, and poetry woven throughout the work.

This collection is absolutely stunning in person and we are so excited to have it in the gallery through June 22!
