Well that stuff was on the back of her card. Laurie is a charming young woman; her enthusiasm about her art is irresistible. She’s a former dancer and a spinal injury survivor. Her well-ordered images have a hypnotic grace and provocative sense of purpose.
She told me that RUG was a founded after a paralysis fund raiser found that selling art made by artists living with paralysis was the most successful. I keep thinking about that. RUG is not yet a brick and mortar gallery, and Laurie Kammer’s exhibit at the Jersey City Art Studio Tour Kick Off party was indeed a rare appearance
