Born in Beirut, Lebanon, on soil infused with ancestral knowledge, Bea Lamar's earliest memories shimmer in candlelight, sketching alongside her father. This intimate haven laid the foundation for her lifelong dedication to art, advocacy, and storytelling.

Immigrating to the United States, her initial focus on engineering shifted towards a more spiritually resonant journey that combines science and art. Lamar's work explores the seen and the 'felt' yet-to-be-seen, capturing a delicate equilibrium between the mystical and the pragmatic, the individual and the collective.

As an artist, seeker, and advocate, her interdisciplinary art practice employs a diverse range of mediums to dissect urgent global issues like climate migration and societal inequality. Works such as "Silence" and "Absence Speaks" navigate the intersection of the personal and the political, utilizing art to delve into topics like PTSD, incarceration, and environmental challenges.

Her curation serves as a sanctuary for dialogue and social transformation, particularly within marginalized communities. In her activism, Lamar employs art both as a rallying cry and as a vehicle for confronting socio-environmental issues with fervency, informed by her own history and the collective experiences of her communities. She imbues her works with insights drawn from her Levantine heritage, including ancestral understandings of herbs, dreams, and celestial rhythms.

Community initiatives like 'Art Steps Up' and 'Humans of the Earth' translate her artistic philosophy into tangible social change, especially benefiting underserved populations. Bea Lamar stands at a unique intersection, honoring her ancestral roots while fervently advocating for tangible, immediate social transformations.

Bea Lamar's narrative continues to unfold, inviting us on a collective journey toward empathy and, perhaps, a sense of collective healing. Her work, spanning more than two decades, bridges the gap between ancestral wisdom and current exigencies, expanding the scope of what art can achieve.
