In August we will bring two of our artists together. Lois Engberg and Carole Boggemann Peirson have become friends through shared painting experiences. If you know their work it is easy to see why they enjoy painting with each other and exploring exhibits and events together. They both paint in oil in the classical tradition with a strong emphasis on light. Lois is strongly influenced by the Old Masters and paints mostly still life subjects straight from her garden. In recent years she has taken more interest in plein air painting. With her Dutch background Carole is also known for her classic still lifes and florals, but her main focus is now painting plein air landscapes using these studies for studio work. Both Lois and Carole teach oil painting to adults. Links to their websites are listed on our Artist page.

3 Generations Featured in August
3 Generations
Barbara Beauchamp and Lois Engberg are unique among Bishop’s Stock’s artists since they share incredible talent as mother and daughter. It is no surprise to have this same talent emerging in the next generation. We are so pleased to have Katie Engberg, Lois’ daughter join her grandmother and mother in presenting 3 Generations as our August show.
Katie is about to return for her second year at the Water Street Atelier, the Grand Central Academy’s full-time program in New York. This program is limited to 15 students who devote themselves to learning traditional drawing, painting and sculpture from life. These studies ensure a deep understanding of classical form, design, practice, and discipline. Included in the show is the final cast drawing. For this Katie received a merit-based scholarship to help cover her tuition. As she pursues her education, Barbara and Lois continue to attend workshops in addition to teaching painting classes twice a week.
