In the artist’s words, “I was born in 1928 and came home from the hospital in a laundry basket during a blizzard. It accounts for a lot.”
Since that stormy arrival, Lois Main Templeton has left an imprint on those who come in contact with her, both as an artist and a teacher. Her teaching has ranged from sponsorships by the Indiana Arts Commission, elementary schools to college, community centers and correctional facilities.
Since graduating Magna Cum Laude from the Herron School of Art in 1981, her paintings have gained widespread attention in numerous invitational exhibitions and in fourteen solo shows in California, Idaho, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Kentucky. Her work is in the collections of the Indiana State Museum, the Richmond Art Museum, the Midwest Museum of American Art, and has been exhibited recently on two occasions by the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington.
Recognized as one of the top Indiana artists, Templeton maintains a studio in downtown Indianapolis and shows regularly with Editions Limited Gallery in Indianapolis.
