Lolly Owens is a well-known and respected artist and teacher. Her classes and workshops are based on the work of Dean Nimmer. She is adept at demonstrating many techniques.
Owens grew up in Pittsburgh, PA with lots of alone time, paper and crayons. Her immigrant parents supported her effort to be the first in the family to attend university. She graduated with a BA from Chatham University in Pittsburgh, married, and had two children before settling into a career in non-profit publications and special events management.
While working, she studied art online, in evening classes at art centers and in week-long national workshops. She learned watercolor from Charles Reid, mixed media from Lisa L. Cyr and color from Stephen Quiller.
Owens is a signature member in the International Society of Experimental Painters and her paintings have been included in exhibits at the Foosaner Museum of Art in Melbourne, FL. and the Coral Springs Museum of Art in Coral Springs, FL.
