Congratulations to PhD candidate, Lauren Lovings-Gomez for contributing artist biographical essays to A Room of Her Own: Women Artist-Activists in Britain, 1875–1945, an exhibition catalogue highlighting the work of five woman artists now on display at the Clark Institute. The exhibition features stained glass work, embroidery, paintings, drawings, and other decorative arts and is on view from June 14 through September 14, 2025.
Lauren Lovings-Gomez has worked at the Jung Center in Houston and has curated two American art exhibitions at a gallery in Cleveland. She also held curatorial internships at the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Menil Collection, and was the 2024-2025 Jameson Fellow at the Bayou bend Collection for the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
The catalog features the work of revolutionary woman artists and the lengths they all had to go through to see their work in public spaces. Artists such as Vanessa Bell, Nina Hamnett, Anna Alma-Tadema, Laura Sylvia Gosse, Louise Jopling, Evelyn De Morgan, and May Morris to name a few. Though differing in their crafts, these women had one thing in common, they were persistent and determined to achieve their artistic goals.
