Join artist Laura Spector for a special session in the 2025 Virtual Arts & Resilience Lecture Series, where she will offer an intimate look into her exhibition Personal Stories at The Jung Center. This lecture will provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Spector’s creative process, inviting participants to explore the richly layered narratives and symbolic imagery in her paintings.

Reflect on the intersections of memory, imagination, and lived experience as Spector discusses recurring symbols, creative rituals, and the unexpected role of “mistakes” in artistic discovery.
