Writings by Lois
“Not only did Jones continually update her teaching methods with new techniques, novel materials and experimental processes, she also published exhibition reviews, lectured widely and conducted research abroad.  This aspect of her pedagogy, reflecting a teacher who was always eager to learn, affected her own working method and kept the look and feeling of her paintings fresh, undaunted, and ever-changing.”
— Cheryl Finley, Assistant Professor in the History of Art Department at Cornell University, 2009
