About

“I seek to share my art with others in hopes of sparking thoughtful conversation with the viewer. It is my hope to help shed light on some of the often-challenging topics that I address in my work.” 

Priscilla Bell Lamberty was born in North Philadelphia and raised in the Hunting Park section of the city. She attended Moore College of Art and Design where she received a BFA in 2D Fine Arts. In 2010, she graduated with her MFA in Painting from Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. 

As an artist, Priscilla looks towards her family, surroundings, and cultural heritages for guidance and inspiration.
