Lois Dodd! Who can’t find her work utterly amazing. Lois is an icon. She creates the most fantastic paintings. Here are a few that I find so striking!

There is a wonderful link to a video interview with Lois. I like her! What a cool lady!

How is this for striking? The dark against that wonderful yellow and the mysterious light in the sky. Get out! Whoa! Also read more about Lois from Wikipedia…

Read a bit about Lois from the Alexandre Gallery website (NOTE: There is a show for Lois at the Alexandre Gallery that ends tomorrow, so if you’re in the area – stop in before it’s over!:
