Lou Stovall was born in Athens, Georgia in 1937 and grew up in Springfield, Massachusetts. He studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and at Howard University (B.F.A.). Since 1962, he has lived and worked in Washington, DC. His drawings and silkscreen prints have brought him grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Stern Family Fund.
“What I convey through my paintings is feeling and emotion, with a sense of spirituality and pure honesty. My images are derived from personal experiences, capturing the essence of life as seen through eyes. By bringing a drama to the ordinary, ordinary people and the normally overlooked, I keep in line with the spirit of 19th century painters such as Edgar Degas and Gustave Courbet.” – Gary Grier
