About the Artist
Lois Shipley is inspired by everyday landscapes near her home in rural Virginia and from her travels. "I am lucky to have seen some beautiful places, and proud to say I have been in nearly every state in the USA. My paintings are a record of my journey, and as I work on a painting, I enjoy reliving my experience of being there. I hope you enjoy my paintings and perhaps they will conjure memories of your own journeys."
Most of Lois's work is done with water-mixable oil paint, and she enjoys using tools as well as brushes to add textures and effects. Lois works from photographs she takes herself or paints on site en plein air whenever she can.
Lois is a graduate from Shepherd University with a BA in Art Education. Before retirement, she was employed by The Montpelier Center for Arts & Education, first as Executive Director, later as Art Gallery Director. Lois is a resident at Crossroads Art Center in Richmond and has been an exhibiting member of James River Art League in Richmond since 2006. She currently serves on their Executive Board as the Chair of the JRAL Gallery at Crossroads. She is also a member of Virginia Plein Air Painters, VMFA and The Montpelier Center for Arts.
