Born in Berlin, Germany, of Russian parents, Lola began her art education in New York City.

She holds a diploma from Parsons School of Design, a B.F.A. and M.F.A. from Syracuse University, both in Painting, and has had further studies across the country.  Concurrent with these studies, Lola established a multi-level art teaching career spanning both coasts.

Constantly in touch with her creative intuition and aware of her direction, she cast her inspirational net, and in 1981, moved to California.

Lola's major passion is water-media, and she finds the inquisition of shapes a constant source of exploration.  She prefers an intimate view, focusing on lush, lyrical shapes that display a sensuality bordering on the erotic.  Her play of colors hopes to illuminate the shadows of the heart. 

Her recent works reflect a continuing departure from the direct influence of nature, and they establish an ethereal atmosphere that searches for what to reveal and what to conceal.  She uses the self as a filter to explore the world around her.  In this way she articulates herself.

"Each image is an invitation into a personal and intimate world into which I plan to seduce the viewer.  Therefore, watercolor's unpredictability and delightful happenings that appear without apparent effort, suggest a communication with accidents that make it the perfect medium  for this adventure."
