“Ever since I was a young girl, I have enjoyed art in all its forms. My favorite subjects are landscapes and close-ups of nature. In my paintings I hope to bring a little bit of the outdoors to people who do not have the chance to walk in the country. I hope they will “step” into my paintings and find a bright, cheerful place.”

Born in Edmonton, Alberta Canada in 1943, Lois Bauman has taken the wild landscape around her and reinterpreted it through her art. Her oil paintings, rendered in an impressionistic style using loose brush strokes in brilliant colors, depict the landscapes of Western Canada. Her work is frequently compared to one of Canada’s favorite artists from the Group of Seven, Tom Thompson.

Lois has studied the art of oil painting at Seattle Pacific University, and has taken art courses at the University of Calgary, the Alberta College of Art, and Red Deer College. Presently a signature member of the Alberta Society of Artists and an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, she is also a founding member and past president of the Airdrie Artists’ Guild, and is a member of the Leighton Art Foundation.

Her highly collectable paintings can be found in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, England, Wales and the United States.
