Lydia Zoells

Lydia Zoells (she/her) is an artist and educator based in Madison, Wisconsin. She teaches painting, drawing, and printmaking to undergraduates at Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design and to adults at Madison College and Atwood Atelier, among many other community art hubs in the Madison area. Her first career was in book publishing, which she left to pursue her M.F.A. in painting from the New York Academy of Art. As a beneficiary of continuing education programs for adults, she loves sharing her skills with other artists at every age and level, to build their abilities and confidence so that they can make art they are passionate about. Lydia’s paintings and prints have been exhibited in New York at Susan Eley Fine Art (NYC), the Salmagundi Club, Eyes On Art, The Living Gallery, LIC-Artists, and (of course) the New York Academy of Art, and in Wisconsin at American Feral, MIAD Galleries, and the Green Lantern Gallery.
