Exploring and interpreting her surroundings through the lens of a camera, photographer Laurie Victor Kay was given her first camera, a Pentax K1000, at age fourteen. Kay received her B.F.A. in Photography from Columbia College in Chicago in 1992. After studying painting, photography, and art history in the United States, Italy, and France, Kay settled in Omaha where she owns Laurie and Charles Photographs with her husband, Charles Kay Jr. Her recent Kaleidoscope II show in July 2011 at Gilman Contemporary opened to critical acclaim. In 2010, Kay's Káleidoscope work was featured at ART CHICAGO with Gilman Contemporary . Kaleidoscope leaps ahead from her internationally recognized Au Musée series towards a fresh perspective that is at once dizzying, vibrant and exhilarating.
