Lizzie Zelter

Lizzie Zelter received her MFA in Visual Arts from Columbia University’s School of the Arts in 2022 and a BA in the Program in Literature from Duke University in 2018. Originally from New York, she has recently returned to San Diego after working at an immigration legal services non-profit in San Ysidro in 2019. Her art practice questions our relationship to public and private space through painting, sculpture, and installation. She utilizes fracturing, mirroring, and scale shifts to expose the strangeness of our built environment, putting viewers in a position to negotiate what surrounds them. Her work has been exhibited at ChaShaMa Gallery, Half Gallery, Spring/Break Art Show, and Winston Wächter Fine Art. 

For the Spring 2023 Session, Lizzie is teaching the following class:

• 51. Oil Painting: Observational and Abstracted Place (AAC Art Studio)
