If you have any interest at all in local art, then you probably already know something about Audra Lambert. What you may not know about her is that she only recently turned to painting as her primary artistic outlet. She has spent most of her art career print making and doing small sculptures. She graduated from MSU with a Bachelor In Fine Arts a few years ago and turned toward painting after collaborating with Ralph Stearn on a massive outdoor mural that was 140 feet by 18 feet. “Ralph showed me how to take a small design and place it on a large scape”, says Audra. “This was the first mural I had ever been paid to help paint. It was trial by fire and now nothing scares me as far as how big it is”.
Audra’s list of murals is steadily growing and includes a recent piece at the Sheppard Air Force Base Spiritual Development Center. While there she was able to visit their training planes up close to reference the large indoor mural.
She calls The Seventh St. Studio her home and you can usually catch her there working on whichever medium she fancies at the time. Audra is the newest, and youngest, president of the Wichita Falls Art Association. She says that she is excited about the surge of local art and the direction this community is going.
