Laurine Kimmel Gallery

Laurine Oetgen Kimmel was a well known Nebraska artist for many years. She was known primarily for a series called "American Architecture," which are water color paintings of old outhouses. She was also very well known for her watercolor paintings of Old Barns and Small Birds. Her work is still widely held in high regard by families who commissioned her to do paintings of old family farmstead outhouses. Mrs. Kimmel once told me she had done over 600 such paintings. A number of her works can be seen at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts in Nebraska City and the Kimmel Foundation offices in Lincoln, Nebraska. Mrs. Kimmel was also featured in a number of national magazines and publications. Sponsored by the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts.
