Ivey Zoellers
After graduating from the University of Central Missouri with degrees in Fine Arts and Art Education, I pursued a life focused on painting and teaching.

Drawing upon my experience in construction and interior design, my work bridges the gap between fine art and functional design, fitting naturally into curated spaces.
