Printed on the occasion of the exhibition, Lois Sloan: Sculptor in the Members Gallery at the Riverside Art Museum Riverside, California, May 13 - September 16, 2015. Born in Minnesota in 1926, Lois Sloan lived and worked in Los Angeles throughout most of her adult life. This survey exhibition spans Sloan's impressive career as a sculptor and teacher. Mostly self-taught, she developed incredible mastery of her craft. Working primarily in marble and alabaster, her elegant sculptures are meticulously carved and thoroughly modern in form; the raw materials were so important to her that she once traveled to Carrara, Italy, to hand-select that famous marble.
