Lois Duffy’s Studio & Gallery was located in Silver City for over two decades. Since closing her gallery in August 2023, she has been working out of a studio in her home. Lois has a diverse body of work spanning paintings, giclee prints and cards, with varied subject matter from surrealism to realism.

A journey through Lois’ paintings will make a viewer see the world as full of magical possibilities . . . friendly, humorous, serious and thought-provoking. Since she has been painting all her life, her life story is a series of paintings. She started out with watercolors and pastels and ended up with large acrylic canvases. Her art career can be divided into three parts, shaped by the different locations where she has lived. At first glance the difference in art is obvious due to different mediums, sizes, colors, and subject matter. However, there are underlying themes throughout: timelessness, people, places, and a deep love for history and nature (trees in particular).
