Lila Passarelli joined the YAA in 1977. Many years of classes with Bill Runyan and Harry Niemala helped her to enjoy many forms of art. She does work in pen and ink, watercolor, pencil, colored pencil, oil, and for several years has worked in Encaustic, otherwise known as hot wax. Her favorite subjects are of the Oregon lighthouses and seascapes, animals, and now and then landscapes. She really enjoys pets and has begun doing what she calls, Petraits (pet portraits).  Petraits of dogs, cats, horses and birds are done with care and attention to detail. She welcomes all critters large and small. Lila has her studio at her home in Makai and welcomes all who wish to visit.Contact her at 541-563-4263.
