Loralea opens art studio in downtown Henderson

The Henderson community came together to celebrate the grand opening of this room right here, its Loralea Landrum's new art studio.

It was a packed room at the grand opening but community members weren't only celebrating the art studio, they were celebrating Landrum's journey and how far she has come.

From living in the woods, to painting murals, and now opening an art studio is something Landrum says she couldn’t have done on her own.

“Having the studio will be a chance to bring those stories to life because I don’t think its about me and my art, its about everybody,” says Landrum.

Frank and Judy Bell are one of the many people who met Landrum while she was working on the mural leading into downtown Henderson and after meeting her they couldn’t help but get involved.

“I am amazed at her ability and her talent and her desire to do better, and her desire to help our children,” says Judy Bell.

Landrum just hopes the art studio can be a way for her to say thank you to everyone that believed in her and her art.

“I only hope I can live up to the love that’s been shown and live up to how people have believed in me,” says Landrum.

Anyone is welcome to come on by, visit Loralea, and get some artwork done.
