Professor Emerita Barbara Zeigler received her BFA in painting and her MFA in printmaking from the University of Illinois. She taught at UBC in the Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory for forty-one years, and prior to that she taught at Queen’s University, Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, and the University of Alberta. Although her main area of expertise is printmaking, she established Print Media Research Centre in 2003, she also works in photography, drawing, installation, video and collaborative public art projects, areas also included in her teaching practice. Broadly focused on the ever-shifting relations between ecosystems and human cultural structures, Zeigler’s artworks have been widely exhibited nationally and internationally including in the fall of 2023, an invitational exhibition at the Toyooka City Museum, Japan, and in a retrospective solo exhibition in the UBC AHVA Gallery.
