at the Belmar Library and Holy Cross Lutheran

Church. It is time to find out about Lois. She was born

in Ida Grove Iowa, and moved to Colorado at the age

of 9 months. She has lived in the Wheat Ridge and

Lakewood area for her life. She became interested in

art when at 10 years old she was at Berkley park and a

man was doing a plein aire painting. She asked him

about it and he let her try it out. She thought it was

something she would like to do but she did not start

painting until her children went on to school. Lois

joined MAG in 1995 so she’s been very involved for

over 22 years. She studied with many local artists and

attended Red Rocks Community College. Lois

participates in a lot of local shows and has won awards

at Glenwood Spring Fall Art Show, and several local

shows. She also for many years showed her art work

at the Mining Museum in Leadville.

A favorite artist of Lois is Barbara Tobiska who is also

a member of MAG.

Lois considers herself a realistic painter and her Best

Art Tip is: Don’t Give Up—Keep Working—Make it

Fun!

For a chance to win Artist of the Month: Bring in an

Artwork Finished or in Progress and place your

name in the basket on the Refreshment Table.
