Louise Cochrane
Reflections, ca 1990
A much-beloved Richmond artist and philanthropist, Louise Cochrane began painting in 1970 while taking classes at the Tuckahoe Woman's Club. This coincided with her initial involvement with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, volunteering with the Artmobile, an educational offering that traveling original art to different parts of the Commonwealth. By 1977 she had joined the museum's Council and trained to become a museum docent. She is currently serving her thirteenth year on the museum's board of trustees and, at the age of ninety-four, continues to paint. |
