It's a Wild Life

    Scott Zoellick '69 has combined his love of wildlife and nature with his talent for painting. With an eye for detail and an artistic style that captures every nuance of a nature scene his paintings preserve the magic and and emotion of a fleeting moment.

    He studied illustration, painting and print making at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design after three years of study at the University of Wisconsin--Stevens Point, College of Natural Resources. While at Stevens Point, Scott was commissioned by the Izaak Walton League to create a 65-foot mural in the college's new central building.

    In 1992 he founded Thunder Mountain Press in Oconomowoc. Scott's paintings have enhanced the covers of more than 30 major magazines and has received many honors and awards.
