lou marak


Painter, illustrator and cartoonist Lou Marak attended the University of Oklahoma. After a stint in the army, he studied at the Kansas City Art Institute, where he graduated in 1958. Lou went on to work at Hallmark and eventually as a freelance artist. His work can be found in many collections, including the Mulvane Art Museum, Hallmark, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art and the Mushnic Art Museum. One-man shows have included exhibitions at the Jayne Gallery, Hallar Gallary and Late Show Gallery in Kansas City.



This is Lou’s second year participating in the Doll Project. He again enjoyed looking through his collection of found natural objects to locate suitable items for decorating the doll.

**If you look closely you’ll see that the doll’s nose is, for example, an eagle’s talon!
