A love for design is apparent in her landscape and still-life paintings where she presents ordinary subjects and scenes in a representational style.  She begins her process by working from life to include working en plein air.  Once in the studio she uses various value patterns and a range of limited palettes to create versions of a composition. Through these versions, she explores how color changes the mood and depth of a scene asking the viewer to reconsider their perspective on the everyday.

Abby Lammers, a native of Missouri, spent half of her adult life on the East Coast splitting her time between Upstate New York and Cape Cod, Massachusetts.  She recently returned to Missouri and works from her studio in Springfield, MO.  She attended Missouri State University, Springfield, MO, and received a B.F.A., with an emphasis in design.  After working in the Advertising industry for thirteen years, as an Art Director, she launched her painting career in 1994.

Her work has been featured in numerous groups and solo shows at museums, galleries, and cultural centers throughout the United States.  Her accomplishments include acceptance into over 200 national exhibitions and winning over 62 awards.
