FAS Student Selling Her Works
“Goldfinch" by Loretta Trefs

A currently enrolled student, Loretta Trefs of Maryland, recently wrote to her instructor, Hank McLaughlin. Loretta was pleased to report her success selling her paintings at a show in September. “I must tell you, I’m as happy as a pig in mud. The show was very successful. I’ve sold eight paintings and have two to finish. In addition, I already have orders for 25 of my little painted hummingbirds.”
Loretta first enrolled in Famous Artists School in 1972, a gift from her husband. Raising children and working as a registered nurse allowed Loretta to paint only sporadically. Loretta lost her husband earlier this year and took up painting again as something to “fill the hours.” She is currently taking an FAS Landscape Painting Course.
As these pictures illustrate, Loretta is not only a skilled landscape artist, but also adept at painting birds.
