LANE HALL

Lane Hall started drawing as a child—and later, during class “on
lined paper if I had to.” His high school art teacher has always
predicted he would be an artist. Hall went on to earn his BFA at
Southern Oregon College (now SOU).

He enjoys working with black and white over gesso on various sur-
faces, shadow and light playing. A combination of realism and loosely
rendered abstraction that reflects his view of the world, his emotions.
His pieces often include nostalgia—a road going back with an old barn
or house.

Lane’s art has granted him signature status in the American and
National Watercolor Societies. He has shown in New York, and has
pieces in four Southwestern galleries.

Hall draws every day, sometimes at a coffee shop, noting that the caf-
feine powers him, and the sketching fires him up to go home and do
more. In good weather, he likes to set up his easel around the valley
for plein air painting. When he puts down pencil and brush, Lane likes
to hit a hiking trail, play drums with his band, or listen to jazz with
friends.
