She concentrated on Painting classes although she did take two semesters of Print-making and one semester of Water Color painting during her studies at UW-La Crosse.

Lucille was beloved by the art students and faculty. She inspired the art students, and they inspired her. She was involved in many art activities and events including exhibitions. Lucille took many Art Field Trips with art students and faculty to gallery tours in Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, and seven art trips to New York City.
