Colombo, Lyle

Louisiana native Lyle Colombo paints portraits, landscapes, and works of abstract realism in oil on panel using traditional techniques. She continually seeks new ways to make representational painting, particularly the figure, relevant to the contemporary world. She won First Place in the Grey Cube Gallery International Portrait Show in 2021, and she has shown her work in several juried exhibitions, most recently the Gulf South Regional Showcase at the Manifest Gallery in Cincinnati, Ohio; Magnitude Seven:14th Annual Small Works at Manifest Gallery; and Self Expressions at the Foundry Art Centre in St. Charles, Missouri.

Lyle is a professional educator with a Ph.D. in philosophy from Tulane University. After teaching philosophy for several years at Loyola, she studied painting and drawing at Tulane while serving as Faculty in Residence there. She is currently an Instructor at Tulane, where she teaches a course on creative writing and New Orleans literature. Lyle offers a class that pairs creative writing and drawing entitled "The Self in Word and Image." She also teaches "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain," a course designed to show that drawing is a perceptual skill anyone can learn. She is currently an Instructor at Tulane, where she teaches a course on creative writing and New Orleans literature and leads the Honors Scholars Society ARTNOLA.
