Lucile Reid Brock coined this motto and patterned her career after it for over six decades.
| Born in Meridian, Mississippi, Lucile Lattanner Reid Brock
was largely raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, by her Aunt Carrie Netter Schreiber and Uncle Will Schreiber. She received her BA from the University of New Mexico, where she was an intercollegiate tennis
champion and began a lifelong membership in the sorority of Kappa Kappa Gamma. During the early 1940s, she moved to Taos, where she was privileged to know and learn from old
Taos Art Colony masters such as Ernest Blumenschein, Emil Bisttram, and Charles Berninghaus. Following her time in Taos, she pursued artistic excellence in and outside the United States, doing postgraduate work in
art at Amarillo College, West Texas State University, the University of Oklahoma, and the
University of Houston; studying and painting abroad with Dong Kingman (Hong Kong, Japan),
Millard Sheets (Greece, Turkey), Rex Brandt (Mexico) and Milford Zornes (Peoples Republic
of China), and traveling to paint on her own in many other countries on five continents. Her other teachers and mentors included Chapman Kelley, John Pike, Ed Whitney, Ole Shivonen and Robert E. Wood. She taught painting privately and in several colleges, was technical consultant to
the Illinois Arts Council, and was the first Art Director of the Oklahoma Science and Art
Foundation (1961-66). She spent many years in Horseshoe Bay, Texas, where she painted and wrote until the final year of her life. She died near Horseshoe Bay November 20, 2008 at the age of 90.
