Jane Loomis Gould: The Arc of an Artist

Ken Poole’s Lunchtime History Talk will feature Jane Loomis, who, from 1949 to 1972, was the go-to painter in the Naples-to-Canandaigua Corridor.

A graduate of Syracuse University, Jane Loomis had a complex life and, upon her death in 2000, many had forgotten about this outstanding painter. Her paintings hang in the Ontario County Courthouse, they are in the collections of the Naples Library, the Naples Historical Society, the Middlesex Heritage Society, and private collections all over Ontario County.
