Laurie Simmons is best known for her photographs and films of scenes featuring paper dolls, finger puppets, and ventriloquists’ dummies, which explore gender, sexuality, domestic life, and consumer culture. Solo exhibitions of her work have been organized at the Baltimore Museum of Art (1997) and San Jose Museum of Art, California (1990), and galleries in the United States and abroad. She has participated in two Whitney Biennials (1985, 1991). Simmons received the Roy Lichtenstein Residency in the Visual Arts at the American Academy in Rome (2005) and fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation (1997) and the National Endowment for the Arts (1984).
