Doug Lofstrom Art

Doug has entered a new direction of collaborative painting.  In July 2024, at a family reunion in Sunriver, Oregon, Doug Lofstrom and Doug Funkhouser—related but strangers until that day—met.  Carol, Lofstrom’s wife, is Funkhouser’s aunt by a previous marriage making Lofsrom his uncle by marriage. Ages 87 and 67 respectively, the two discovered that they shared not only family ties, but a deep dedication to painting and ongoing studio experiments.  Almost immediately they agreed that Funkhouser, who lives in Valencia CA would travel north to work alongside Lofstrom in his Edmonds Studio, launching a collaboration grounded in affinity, energy and late found kinship.
