Grand Island Public Library

Grand Island, Neb. — The Grand Island Public Library is proud to present artist Dorothy Lambert in the Art Alcove for its February showcase. The display begins Saturday, February 8 and runs through Friday, March 7.

Lambert is a native Nebraskan, growing up and being educated in central Nebraska. Teaching is an integral part of her makeup and provided a career that spanned 42 years. Her artwork reflects a sense of open plains and momentary vignettes that capture the eye and are then gone in the shifting seasons that dominate this part of the world.

Most of her works are visual memories of long, solitary hikes through the pastures that fringe the southern edge of the sandhills and many summer days spent along the Platte River and its wooded environs. Additionally, travels to several states add images of mountains, deserts, old forests and many trees.

It is Dorothy’s belief that a work of art should keep its owner “good company” and become a part of that person’s environment. In effect, the work of art is a changeless part of the unique life of that individual. Dorothy went Ravenna High School before attending college at Kearney State College and the University of Nebraska-Omaha at Omaha. She also has had a few art awards and has work on display in 20 states and 11 countries.

The Grand Island Public Library serves both residents of the City of Grand Island and Hall County. Anyone who lives in or owns property anywhere within Hall County may apply for a library card at no cost.
