Biography
Outlaw Trail (Plein Air Painting)
Lil is a self-taught artist. She has admired and studied the works of artists such as the Impressionists, Edgar Payne, John F. Carlson, Kevin MacPherson and Jay Moore. These artists have inspired her to paint plein air landscapes, florals and missions of the southwest. The southwest influence shows in her vibrant skies in her mission and landscape paintings. Lil is an avid horsewoman and spends many days riding in wilderness areas. Her plein air work is often composed and painted in these wilderness areas. She paints in both traditional oils and acrylics.
Her paintings are in national and international private collections. Lil has had her work juried into the Empire Ranch Fall Show, the Empire Ranch Western 100 Show, Tubac Center of the Arts, and the Tucson Plein Air Annual Member Shows.
