Since 1975, Lamson’s work has been included in numerous collections, publications, and exhibitions including the Tacoma, Bellevue and Oakland Art Museums. She was part of the first wave of artists represented by websites that showcase international artists working with and in nature; including GreenMuseum.org, Women Environmental Artists Directory (originating in USA), and Yatooi.com. (originating in Korea). She received a project grant from Artist Trust for ‘The Island Project’ in SE Alaska where she returned to work on the same small, remote island over a period of 10 years. Lamson has been awarded several artist residencies in the western US and worked as a Program Assistant for the international artist residency program of Headlands Center for the Arts near San Francisco. She has created numerous temporary site-responsive installations for public street windows, outdoor art-parks and festivals, including numerous projects for Webster’s Woods at Port Angeles Fine Art Center, The Anacortes Arts Festival, and Bellevue City Hall. Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Washington Arts Commission, King County Public Art based in Seattle, and John F. Kennedy University in Pleasant Hill California.

Lamson earned an MFA in Arts & Consciousness from John F. Kennedy University in California and in BA from Evergreen State College with a specialization in black and white fine art photography. She is a Northwest native, glad to call Port Townsend, Washington home.
