Lois Dodd
Lois Dodd is a painter based in New York City, Maine, and the Delaware Water Gap. In autumn 2025, the Kunstmuseum Den Haag presented the first European retrospective of Dodd’s work.
This summer, artist Maureen Cavanaugh often painted in Lois Dodd’s garden in Cushing, Maine, working the canvas on the easel of her late friend Lumin Wakoa. This edited transcript addresses friendship, painting outdoors, and the pull of Cushing’s landscape on artists across generations.
