An innovative and versatile artist with a talent in many mediums. Now immersed fulltime as an artist, her work has evolved over the years and has taken her in many fulfilling directions. |
Glass, sculpture, textiles, water fountains, jewellery designer, and now Encaustic art. Lois has been painting since a teenager and is basically self taught with the help of a few workshops over the years. It wasn’t until her move to Victoria in 1999 that she decided to pursue her dream of being a full time artist. Her thirst for knowledge combined with her curious nature for experimenting has expanded her creativity and resulted in some unusual art lines. Working with Encaustic requires a quickness, decisiveness, and willingness to both predetermine and create images as they happen. Beeswax is used with damar resin and pigment, then applied on a board with heat applied from various tools to produce magnificent luminous colours and dramatic textural effects. Lois, a self motivated passionate artist open to exploring new techniques as well as creating a few of her own, recently took her Encaustic training in San Francisco .Lois shows and sells her work in shows and galleries in Alberta and British Columbia. She also teaches Thai Cooking and resides in Brentwood Bay with her Amazon parrot ‘Angel’ and Lowchen dog ‘Fantom‘.
