Laurie Simmons

Laurie Simmons was born in Long Island, New York. She received a BFA from Tyler School of Art in 1971.

Ms. Simmons was a young art school graduate in New York hoping to support herself as a freelance commercial photographer. Aiming to get a job illustrating a toy company catalog, she photographed dollhouse furniture. She didn’t get the assignment, but she found a vision.

“..Setting up small rooms with dolls in them was a way for me to experience photography without taking my camera out to the street. I felt that I could set up my own world right around me, without ever having to leave the studio,” she says in a 2000 interview.
