About Lois
Growing up on a farm and
attending school in a small rural town, I had no opportunity to
study art until I reached adulthood. I didn’t know any artists
and didn’t think of myself as an artist. When I went to college
I took a few art classes because I wanted to learn how to do
this. But my mother was a teacher, and my grandmother was a
teacher. So what was I going to do besides major in Elementary
Education? I got a minor in Fine Arts.
I married young. My
husband became a physics professor. We moved around, so I took
a few art courses at each University where we lived. We were
also raising our family. After the children were grown I
decided to make an effort to paint and learn as much as I
could. I usually paint with watercolor or acrylics although
I’ve sometimes used pastels or colored pencils also.
