Laurie Victor Kay studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Columbia College in Chicago where she received her B.F.A. in photography in 1995. She is the past winner of the Prix de la Photographie. In early 2021, LVK’s Gratitude Project was 3d projection-mapped on an 80foot long building of the University of Nebraska Medical Center campus. The project consisted of 14 uniquely made short videos with her photographic work animated with messages of hope to thank healthcare workers. Recent exhibits include LVK’s 2020 Visible Light Healing and Community exhibition at the Buffett Cancer Center as well as a multi-work large-scale commission on in-patient cancer treatment floors. LVK’s work is in numerous collections throughout the world. She is an advocate for education, women, and children- ever passionate about community work and the ability of the still image to connect humans. Laurie’s work has been exhibited at the Accessible Art Fair NYC, Joslyn Art Museum, Art Chicago, ArtMRKTSF, Bemis Center for Contemporary Art, Gilman Contemporary in Ketchum, ID., and Anne Loucks Gallery in IL. Her work has been featured in Photo District News.
