Earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Lambert was a professional actress for nearly two decades. Her theatrical background lends natural drama and mystery to her work as well as joy and celebration.

She studied art for two years at The Art Center School of Design in Pasadena, California, before she met her mentor, museum-collected artist Margaret Garcia in 2009. Since Lambert's first exhibit in 2011, she has participated in more than 85 shows and exhibitions, including solo exhibits at the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum (2017, Mesa, AZ), The City of Burbank Creative Arts Center Gallery (2016), ChimMaya Art Gallery (2016, Los Angeles), and the Jean Deleage Art Gallery (2014, Los Angeles). Group exhibitions include, among many others, The Lines Gallery (Bergamot Station, Santa Monica, 2017) and the TAG Gallery (2020, LA Open Exhibition).

Statement

Since childhood, I've been mesmerized by spectacular sunsets and sunrises, the shock of skies during storms, late afternoon light stretching long shadows, fog blurring the world. These extreme conditions of light and nature sparked my young imagination. Thanks to this early influence, I'm now a cityscape oil painter in love with intense color and deep contrast. I'm drawn to the tension between nature and the hand-of-man in the urban landscape. My Los Angeles neighborhood and Southern California provide endless inspiration for my paintings. I ask the viewer to see with fresh eyes surroundings that have become dulled or invisible to us; to see these places in a new light; and to consider that the every-day world around us is rich in meaning and beautiful.
