I have been working around the clock since October 2010 on a massive, 15ft wide by 7ft high, oil painting for consideration at this years Grand Rapids Art Prize competition, that will take place from September 21 - October 9, 2011!!! MORE INFO TO COME!!

Well, I've been hibernating away, prepping for my latest show which will open October 15th (Reception from 6pm to 10pm) and will run until January 8th, at Space 237 Gallery in Toledo Ohio. EXCITING!!! Everyone is welcome!!!!

3 of my original paintings have landed at one of the most prestigious galleries in the US...L'Imagerie Gallery in Los Angeles!! To check them out, just go to:

www.limageriegallery.com and click on 'Laura Barnhard' in the list of artists.

Well, call me crazy, but I like a big challenge. So this year I am doing my bestest to get on the Ellen show to give her a special painting! I even did a hilariously embarrassing Youtube video that I need everyone to check out...and pass on to all of your peeps. You can see it at:
