Laurie Lambrecht, 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. Lambrecht's photographs are in the collection of museums includingthe National Gallery of Art, The Center for Creative Photography 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. 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. The National Gallery of Art, The Morgan Library, and The Art Institute of Chicago are among the venues where Lambrecht has given talks about her work. She has taught bookmaking and weaving workshops at art museums and art centers. Through the organizationNew Hour she has taught weaving to incarcerated women.
