DRAWINGS + ASSEMBLAGE

Artist Bio

 

Marylou Ashooh Lazos 1957-2024

​

Marylou was best known as a figure artist working primarily in colored pencil on toned paper.  Her drawings are reminiscent of old master sketches and capture the first hand observances of working directly from the model.  

 

After studying at Massachusetts College of Art and the University of New Hampshire she went on to get a Master’s Degree in Art History at SUNY Binghamton.  She spent most of her professional life curating history museum collections in Manchester, NH where she developed a passion for the objects charged with stories of the past.  

​

Her late artistic ventures involved constructing assemblage art from the things around us… found objects with bits of accumulated treasures from her own past.

 

She found beauty and interest in things others might discard.
