  • bernie & zuzu is named for Bernie Witzack and her cat Zuzu. “At bernie & zuzu, we create handmade, hand-painted, and screen-printed goods in small batches. We specialize in unique, one-of-a-kind art, home goods, accessories, and prints with a special emphasis on bright, bold color and playful shapes. We hope our artwork and goods inspire tiny moments of beauty, wonder and joy. We work out of our eastside Madison studio and at Madison’s Printmaking Collective, Polka Press.”

    Bernie studied Studio Art at Beloit College and has been making and exhibiting her art ever since. She earned an MFA in Fine Art from the University of Michigan, focusing on improvisational drawing and painting. She also studied graphic design at Madison College and was working as a graphic designer before leaving the field to focus on her art full time. She launched bernie & zuzu in 2021.

  • Bernie invites patrons of all ages and abilities to join in the open studio/drop-in sessions which will focus on process, improvisation, creativity, and flow in art making.
