Liz Chappie-Zoller is a contemporary mixed media artist, whose art explores the overlapping edges of diverse cultures, using a unique combination of western wildlife, rural working horses of the American West - ranch, rodeo, and Indian Relay race horses - mashed up with urban graffiti she collects (benches) from trains passing through the remote Missouri River valley of her Montana home.
Her current series, called Wild Fillies Make the Best Horses, features fillies embellished with traditional symbolism and colors, on mashed-up graffiti background patterns inspired by historic and traditional weaving.

During The Great Western Art Show last summer, I was lucky enough to sit down with the masterful interviewer, art aficionado, and accomplished artist, Tim Lee, who asked the best questions, while encouraging me to tell the story of my graffiti horses.
Thanks, Tim! You make scary things FUN.
