I'll be offering free chair massage at the Phoenix Gallery from 6:00-8:30 PM for Final Friday so come see me!
We have another wonderful Final Friday lined up. Join us on March 30 from 5-9 pm for an all bee inspired spring Final Friday. Laura Ramberg will be our demonstrating artist with her nature and bee inspired art. Food will be catered by Sugar Pie, Honey Buns and it will all be made with honey, including honey bee cookies. Karen Pitts of Simply Bee Massage will be offering free chair massages. Richard Bean will be here with his local honey and honey products, and Wes Samms will be providing music.
Laura Ramberg has been a practicing artist working in the Lawrence area for over thirty years. Laura’s art emerges organically from the rhythms of a life grounded deeply in nature. She often draws inspiration for her creations from her dreams as well as the dreams of others. She works primarily with organic materials such as stone, wood, clay, and bronze.
She considers the larger purpose of her art to be serving and creating community. To that end, Laura has had work commissioned by a number of schools, churches, businesses, and private homes. Her major local projects include the restoration of the Douglas County courthouse, the crucifix of St. John’s church, and the restoration of the State Capitol building in Topeka.
She holds a B.F.A. in Sculpture from the University of Kansas. In 2007 she was awarded the Imagination & Place Environmental Award. In addition to being a full-time practicing artist, Laura has taught art at the Douglas County Youth Services for over twelve years. She is also a beekeeper, gardener, naturalist, mother, yoga instructor, and dancer.
