Wild Fillies Make the Best Horses I • 48" x 48"
Liz Chappie-Zoller
Mixed Media Painter
Wild Fillies Make the Best Horses II • 36" x 36"
Liz Chappie-Zoller is a contemporary
equine artist from Three Forks MT. She
is best known for incorporating images
of the working rural ranch, rodeo, and
Indian Relay horses of her rural western
American landscape with the urban-
based graffiti she collects from trains
passing through the remote Missouri
River valley of her Montana home.
Each of her "Wild Fillies (Make the
Best Horses)" are embellished with
a mash-up of graffiti and traditional
symbols, on background patterns
inspired by traditional and historic
weaving. Vibrant, saturated palettes
are chosen for their symbolic colors
that represent wisdom, confidence,
harmony, and healing.
Don't miss Liz's fresh take on the
overlapping edges of diverse cultures,
celebrating the transformative power
of youthful energy, trust in the process,
and the playful joy found in the
best of Life journeys.

With each of my sculptures I strive to
recreate the beauty I see around me.
That beauty includes both African and
American influences – having spent years
in both places. I love nature and different
cultures, and work to create pieces that
strongly portray both love and emotion.
Though I like detail in my work, simplicity
in composition is also important to me.
I love the flexibility of clay, and the
permanence of bronze. I feel the volume
and roundness, and enjoy recognizing all
the planes that make up a form. Working
with my fingertips and palms, or other
tools discovered here and there to add
detail. Once my piece is completed, it
goes to a foundry to be cast in bronze.
