About me...

I hold a BFA degree from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and a MFA degree from Pratt Institute, NYC. I have worked in many art areas, including art Instructor at Middletown Community College, art instructor at the New York City Friends School, director of a ceramic studio in Ancramdale, NY, supervisor for the North Miami facility of the Miami Metropolitan Museum and initiating studio-site concept art classes in Boston, Falls Village, CT and Wilmington, NC.

I have taught drawing, painting, printmaking and collage classes in my Sunroom Studio in NC for the past ten years as well as Basic Drawing and Colored Pencil Drawing at Cape Fear Community College for three years.

My Colored Pencil Drawings

The Domestics Series

My art is freedom to do what I am, motivated by good will toward the process and unencumbered by excessive deliberation.

Welcome to my Domicile.  Please leave your daily equilibrium at the door and celebrate in my skewed household the magic of commonplace.

Domestics is a plate of peaches, last night's empty wine bottles, morning sunlight slicing a curtain, distant hills framed by windows, post-it notes and stacks of books.

I welcome your comments, suggestions and questions.  Just contact me below and thank you for visiting my website!

Lois, I enjoyed your newsletter and get a lot out of the visual you tubes. Your help and interest in my work keeps me challenged. Janice Stratton

"I used to love doing art but then life got it the way and all of a sudden it had been 10 years since I picked up a pencil to draw or a brush to paint. I decided to make time in my life for art again, but didn't know where to start and felt so rusty. While researching online I came across Lois' website and it was the answer I was looking for! Lois' lessons are great for beginner and experienced alike, they are very professional and really are free like the website says! I have run across other websites that make this claim and then follow with hidden fees. Not only are the lessons free, but Lois will help you every step of the way just by sending her pictures of your work in progress! These lessons are a valuable asset for anyone wanting to bring art back into their life, or dip their toes in for the first time." ~ Rene Wagenaar.

I am a software developer, working at Propalms, living in India.

I decided to go for further studies in industrial designing and visual communications, thats why I searched for some drawing tutorials..and found your website.

Your website is like a treasure. Am happy reading it. This is exactly what I was looking for. I will read it and will keep you posted with my progress.

Again, Thanks a ton

Hi Lois,

To answer your questions, I live in Detroit, Michigan. I was doing alot of web browsing on the yahoo search engine looking for free art classes because right now, I cannot afford to pay to go to art school. So I was looking for free art lessons for the time being that would still provide the same kind of lessons to assist in my growth as an inexperienced artist. I came from a family of artists and the natural gift was passed down to me, however, I never took advantage of going to an art school to improve my craft. I look forward to your lessons filling that gap.

Hi Lois,

I was searching the web for ideas for me to teach K-3 students in an after school art program which meets for about 10 weeks in Spring and Fall. I have no art background but would like to teach art concepts to children to help them become independent thinkers. I've seen the results of children's artwork through a friend and loved the results. Children are not afraid to explore. I also have a deep desire to use my right brain.

I live in Honolulu.
