ABOUT LAURIE BEASLEY

Photo by Chris Rainier
This site is based on some of my travels with my husband Noel and grew out of the newsletter I published periodically to promote my gallery, Ridge Art. I had a 25+ year career in advertising and print production before opening the gallery in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1998. It featured Haitian art and other work by self-taught and visionary artists from around the world. I closed the physical gallery in 2010 to focus on my growing internet business. In August 2017 I closed down the gallery website ridgeart.com and created the website ridgearttravels.com.
