A Woodstock, New York native, Zoe Keller's creative upbringing in the rural Catskills shaped their future as an artist and amateur naturalist. After graduating from the Maryland Institute College of Art, Keller made homes and studios in Minneapolis, Philadelphia, on the rocky Maine coast, in West Michigan's farm country and Eastern Oregon's Wallowa Mountains and Portland, before finally returning to the North East. She currently resides in South Portland, Maine.
