ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lu Haskew 1921-2009
"Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons."
Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on
her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years
her painting became a full time career. Since 1992, she has studied with renowned painters Richard
Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike, and others at the Scottsdale Art School and the Loveland Academy of
Fine Arts.
Lu considered it a must to work from live models once or twice a week, and she thoroughly enjoyed portrait
work. She also had a passion for floral still-life subjects and used material from her own beautifully
landscaped garden to create stunning settings. Fruit and vessels compliment her still life paintings,
and landscapes round out an extensive portfolio.
Her devotion to painting kept her busy attending numerous painters’ workshops. She also
taught at a community art league as well as the Loveland Academy of Fine Art.
