Lila's subject matter for her paintings range from still lifes to landscapes, from wildlife studies to pets portraits, from roundup scenes on the ranch to portraits of friends and family, including beautiful paintings of some of the local Native American Indians here in Round Valley. Lila says, "I have always felt a strong bond with the North American Indians. From as long as I can remember, I have been friends with the Indian people. Living close to the Indians has given me an awareness of what this great country was and what we all are losing."

Living with a disability prevents Lila from doing many things she has always loved doing, such as horseback riding and helping out on the ranch. However, she's thankful she can paint, and she says "painting helps me keep in touch with who I am and where I came from. My paintings come from my heart and soul."

Lila works in watercolors, acrylics, pencil, and mixed media. She often likes to paint from photographs that she has taken. She sets up her own still life subjects. She has painted portraits, people and pets, on a commission basis, and would accept any challenge.

Lila says " Feel free to contact me if I can be of any help to you."
