Gwendolyn Lanier is a visual artist based in Lowell Massachusetts who creates sublime figurative art depicting the divine female experience and form through narratives that challenge the preconceived notions of reality. In 2009, Lanier received her Bachelors of Fine Arts from the School of the Museum of the Fine Arts/ Tufts University in Boston. Lanier was the recipient of the 2009 Albert Pratt Travelling Grant which enabled her to study ceramic figurative Art in Florence, Italy. Subsequent to graduating from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts’ Post Baccalaureate program in 2012, Lanier’s work shifted to include two-dimensional mediums. Her knowledge of creating three-dimensional forms enables her to bring a Trompe L'oeil semblance to her drawings and paintings. Gwendolyn Lanier’s work has been on display at Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, Pittsburgh Center for the Arts during the 2008 NCECA Conference, the Painted Bride in Philadelphia, and other venues throughout the east and west coast. She is currently a studio artist at the Brush Gallery and Studios in Lowell and an artist member at the Attleboro Arts Museum.
