Following art school, and several years of oil painting, she started to paint with Encaustic Wax, a medium consisting of beeswax, resin, and pigment. This means creating an image by painting with blocks of pigmented wax on a hot flat plate, and then placing rice paper on it to absorb the melted wax image, and then pulling it off for a one time print.  For the last 15 years, Lonnie has been pushing the possibilities of making contemporary encaustic monotypes; developing new methods, stretching and modifying wax application, working large scale, incorporating varied drawing approaches, and exploring color to achieve her highly expressive representational abstract monotypes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen asked what inspires her work, she said, “I have always been fundamentally inspired by my relationship with the natural world.  I want to experience the special moments that arrive from being aware, when it’s most beautiful, when it’s most simple, when it’s most profound, when contrasts are arresting.  I want to visually capture it in my mind before it’s gone, to register it in a pure, simple, and honest way. I look to see things raw, wild, and unbundled from the demands of daily life. It’s my intension to capture natures’ announcements of change, of transition.  I am urged to respond and interpret these moments in terms of the emotion and   meaning they have for me, to find these beautiful memories and make them seeable, and shareable!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLonnie currently lives and works in her studio in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. She was born in Southern California where she grew up playing tennis with the intention of turning professional. This led to her recruitment to UC Irvine where she graduated with a B.A. in economics. After  years working as a marketing professional, she married Hal Zarem and had three sons. The family moved to Northern California in 2000, at which time Lonnie decided to formally pursue her art career. This led to art school at San Jose State University, School of Fine Arts and the many years of making, showing, and selling her work as well as being an art instructor for the last 10 years. She enjoys family, friends, and an active life filled with the wonder, beauty, nature’s wildness, and the quest for new adventures!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease refer to the website \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/lonniezarem.com\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLONNIEZAREM.com\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e for a full resume.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNon Refundable Policy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all participants, please be aware of the following policy regarding class fees:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNon-Refundable Fee:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e All class fees are non-refundable.
