Laurie Lambrecht is a native of Bridgehampton, is a visual artist working in photography and fiber. Her work is an observation of the natural world, merging eye and hand in her lens and fiber-based work. Her first career as a sweater designer heightened her awareness of the tactile qualities and nuances of pattern and color found in nature. Her work especially celebrates trees: their form, subtlety, and enduring presence. Laurie has taught bookmaking and weaving workshops at numerous art museums and art centers.
In 2019, she presented her first outdoor site-specific installation of weavings and photographs at the Madoo Garden Conservancy as a Road Show artist with the Parrish Art Museum. Since then, she has created installations at the Watermill Center, Sylvester Manor, and the Leiber Collection Garden, among others. Her installation Into the Woods at the Nassau County Museum of Art was funded by a 2023 Project Grant from NYSCA.
Lambrecht’s photographs are in the collection of museums including the National Gallery of Art, The Center for Creative Photography, Guild Hall, and the Parrish Art Museum. She has had numerous solo exhibitions in the US and abroad. Lambrecht has been a participant at artist residencies including The American Academy in Rome; The Watermill Center; the Rauschenberg Residency; and KH Messen in Norway. Â
