Raised in New Orleans, now paving her own bright path in the Magic City, Laurie Kramer’s paintings are more than pleasing to the eye, they’re saturated with meaning - and since she’s dedicated to so many causes within the community, it’s a certainty that at least one of her paintings will appeal to you - the aesthetic as well as the substance.

Murals at Children’s Hospital, art projects with Hand-In-Paw, ongoing work with VSA Arts Alabama for people with disabilities - Laurie’s modern expressionistic style is apparent, but it’s what’s beneath the surface that reveals the true reason Laurie paints - to express not only herself, but also the many people who have influenced and inspired her own life.

Other organizations Laurie has partnered with include Greenvale Pediatrics, School of the Highlands, Storkland, The Humane Society, Central City Community Center, the YMCA, the YWCA, Hands On Birmingham, the popular television series Extreme Home Makeover and the Community Mural Project in New Orleans - Renew Rebuild Rebirth.
