First Friday Lunch and Learn: The Art of Eco Dying with Artist Laura Mead

We are so excited to welcome Kansas Botanical Artist Laura Mead to the Vernon Filley Art Museum!

Laura grew up in Vermont, then moved to Kansas after falling in love with the Flint Hills.

Both landscapes -- the lush, wooded landscapes of the Green Mountains and the vast, rolling prairie of the Flint Hills -- have captured her imagination. These vistas inspire her to create art as a means of expression, understanding and connection with others.

Laura Mead is an artist that uses botanicals in her fiber and jewelry art. Her art is created to cultivate peace, stillness, insight, wisdom and compassion..
