LULU G. LEMERY FOUNDATION FOR ARTS & EXPRESSION, INC.
Bringing the Community & Arts Together
About Us
The Lulu G. Lemery Foundation for Arts & Expression was formed in 2006 by Alysse Rasussen, Lu-C Leisemann, Amy Sams and Querida Funck in honor of the family matriarch, Lulu Genevieve Lemery-Funk. Lulu (pronounced "Lula") was a well-known landscape artist in south central Wisconsin where her works graced both residental and commercial properties. During her lifetime she created impressive works of art, specializing in landscapes. Her work was a prominent part of the atmosphere at the Monroe Clinic and St. Mary's Hospital in the 1970s. Her works accentuated old world charm, inspiring the imagination of children and adults. Years after Lulu's death, a portion of the original Heidi Mural was salvaged from demolition and preserved in the Learning Media Center of the Northside Elementary School in Monroe, Wisconsin.
