About the Artist:

MJ Loftus is a self taught artist who intensified her art practice when she began studying with Alain Gavin at the Evanston Art Center and ACE at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work includes still life, landscape and figuration. She began her practice in watercolor, and later expanded into oil painting. She has had many group shows in and around Chicago with a group of artists known as the Nomad Group. She has also had a solo show at The Cliff Dweller’s Club of Chicago and Agora Gallery in New York City. MJ has had a connection to the Indiana Dunes since she was young. Her mother had a home in Long Beach. Stop 19 is where she met her life long partner, Bill Loftus. But when MJ first came back to the dunes 25 years ago, she discoverd Beverly Shores and fell in love with its charm and natural beauty.
