A Monongalia County native, Lazzell was one of West Virginia’s most notable artists and a leading American abstract painter and printmaker. Independent for her time, she studied Cubism in Paris with modernists like Charles Guerin and Fernand Léger. A founding member of the Provincetown Printers, she specialized in single-block color prints, alongside watercolor and oil.
During the Depression, Lazzell created wood-block prints of Morgantown scenes and a mural titled Justice over Monongalia County for the courthouse, commissioned by the Works Progress Administration.
