I loved to color as a kid and spent endless hours on Gram's front porch carefully coloring every page in probably a million coloring books. Creating 'collages' of magazine pictures was another cherished activity. Then one day my Uncle gave me the most wonderful gift - a wooden box full of oil paints, brushes, canvases, and supplies. I immediately started painting, eventually developing my my own style. Later, I dabbled in watercolors and pastels, and charcoals.

I've also always had a camera - I think my first one was a Brownie - now I'm shooting with a SonyA200 and it never leaves my side. I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoy taking them. Website: http://lois-lepisto.artistwebsites.com/
