In 1939 Lily was frequenting the Art Institute of Chicago. On one of these visits, she was attracted to a discussion of artists taking place in front of a painting on exhibit. She joined in on the discussion with one artist in particular... Carl Tolpo.
He wanted to see her work so she brought a portfolio to his studio at the Tree Studio Building... He was very impressed with her art and her many talents. They corresponded while she was on tour with The Hollywood Cowgirls.
They continued they relationship upon finding that they had much in common... Lily became Carl’s muse. The result was many paintings of Lily... The La Conga being one. They married in 1941.
