About the
Artist
IN THE ARTIST'S OWN WORDS, ABOUT HER WORK...

After a twelve-year hiatus of my intense focus being solely on my three fantastic sons, I
returned to that which always brought me a sense of peace and serenity - painting and
photography.  I also love to write; but when my words were becoming too many,
painting was the best way I could express myself visually without writing one word
about how I was feeling or how someone or something has inspired me.

My work and its subjects mirror aspects, even latent ones, of myself. Vincent van Gogh,
Georgia O’Keefe, and Frida Kahlo have all inspired me tremendously. Those artists
represent parts of my own self. Georgia, for her love of nature; Vincent and Frida, for
their raw and honest interpretation of themselves. They had no fear of seeing
themselves in total truth. I strive to work and represent myself in this same raw and
honest manner because I know that what I express on canvas has the power to reach
someone in a way that perhaps nothing else can.

"Lolo's exuberance about everything, life, her family, art, was almost contagious.  She
has had a colorful life in the artistic world.  We learned that when she models, she
directs her own shoots.  Even with three children, she still finds time to paint exciting
pictures with oil and acrylics."  Mary Lange, Editor
