LOUISA MCELWAIN 1953–2013


Louisa McElwain (1953 – 2013) was not only one of the most distinctive and influential landscape painters in New Mexico, she was also an avid art collector. The upcoming exhibit, Louisa McElwain and Friends is comprised of an eclectic compilation of work by the artist’s most respected colleagues.
A significant part of this body of work reflects her attraction to heavily applied oil paint. A few of the painterly artists in her collection include Jerry Jordan, Peggi Kroll Roberts and Hannah Shook.
With a mutual passion for nature, it is not a surprise that paintings by Ed Mell are part of Louisa’s estate.
The artist also had a fondness for traditional New Mexican folk artists such as Nicholas Herrera, who recently received the Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts.
A pastel painting by Wolf Kahn is included in this exhibit, collected by Louisa while studying with the renowned Modern painter.
