Boydston’s Midwest suburban upbringing has given her a unique perspective within this American subculture that provides a wide range of topics to explore including environment, architecture, conformity, spirituality, ideas of home, cultural diversity and time. Scenes of children at play, water, and everyday suburban life provide inspiration for her to capture little redeeming moments in an otherwise mundane environment. Drawn to the simplistic, formal architectural elements and the facades that shield us from the underlying stories, the artist shares with us three galleries of mixed media two-dimensional works.

Lorrie Boydston is a painter and Art Educator based in Kansas City, Missouri. Boydston’s diverse body of work is inspired by Suburban life and architecture. including representational suburban landscapes, architectural references, and a range of abstract, mixed-media paintings and works on paper. Boydston’s work has been shown in numerous local, regional, national exhibitions and publications. She has been an active member of the Kansas City Artist Coalition throughout her career where she was astudio resident from 2019 – 2022. She is also part of the Arts KC’s NowShowing corporate exhibit program and a former delegate of Artist Inc KC in 2019.Boydston maintains an active studio practice and art teaching career in Northland Kansas City, MO.

Blue Gallery turns 25 this year — and to celebrate this milestone, we’re bringing back one of our most beloved exhibitions: FLOWER.

Reimagined as FLOWER II and curated by founder and director Kelly Kuhn, this invitational features 14 artists from across the country. Some are known for their deep connection to floral subjects; others are exploring this new terrain for the first time.

Together, they offer fresh and compelling takes on nature’s most timeless muse — each engaging with pattern, spirit, and surface in richly personal ways.

We’d love for you to join us in honoring these 14 unique voices — and this meaningful moment in the gallery’s history.

With love,

xo, Blue Gallery
