Helen Grigware Lambert’s early paintings were figurative and rendered in a dark palette, but by 1970, her style had become increasingly abstract, with lively colors and passages of white. Thin, delicate lines of dripped paint spread and interlace about the canvas, defining the flowers that had become her subject of choice and that her titles reference. In addition to being an artist, Lambert was also a lawyer and the first woman to graduate from the Gonzaga University School of Law in Spokane, Washington, in 1937. Lambert traveled around the world extensively during her law career, including to Japan, the former Soviet Union, and Israel; those countries left an indelible impression on her artistic vision.
