Matt Lamb was born in Chicago, 1932. He was the son of a funeral director
Matt Lamb Sr. who bought the Blake-Lamb funeral home in 1928. At the
age of 18 Matt Lamb Jr. became a partner in the business and transformed
the funeral parlor into a prominent chain of funeral enterprises. He married
Rosemarie Graham, in 1954, and produced four children. Lamb's business
expanded to six different locations by 1970 and continued to expand. In his
late 40s, Lamb was diagnosed with mononucleosis complicated by chronic
active hepatitis and sarcoidosis of the liver. Repeated medical tests at the
Mayo Clinic showed that none of the diseases were still present. He had
either been misdiagnosed or miraculously cured. He sold his funeral
business in 1986 and opened his first painting studio in Chicago. Lamb
decided to use his remaining time to spread his message of peace,
tolerance, hope, communication, and love among men with his works of
art. In 1988, he established two more studios in Florida and, in 1990, in
Wisconsin.
In 1994 Lamb became President of Midwest Patrons of the Arts, Vatican
Museum, and Director of Vatican Museum Foundation, New York, and
opened a fourth studio in the Saarland Tünsdorf, a local part of Mettlach.
He opened a fifth studio in 2000 in Paris.
In 2001 the artist created his project "The Lamb Umbrellas for Peace" in
response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. He began with a 3-
day workshop in Washington, D.C. for 38 children who had lost their
parents in the attack, each of them expressing their feelings in colorful
ways on the umbrellas. The workshop was followed by a parade of the
children carrying their umbrellas, and the umbrellas were shown on
Capitol Hill.
In 2003 the project expanded to Europe, where The Lamb Umbrellas for to
Peace were shown in the European Parliament at Strasbourg, in the
German Bundestag and in the two houses of the British Parliament. Since
then worldwide 300,000 children have painted screens for the peace.
In 2003 Matt Lamb created his tallest work of art in the peace chapel of the
parish church of St. Martin in Tünsdorf, Saarland, Germany. "Mary, Queen
of Peace" (Regina Pacis / Maria Friedenskönigin), is one of the largest
frescos in Europe with a painted surface of 120 m² and has an entry in the
Guide Michelin. Lamb dedicated the chapel to the mother of God, whom he
regards as embodiment of absolute acceptance and love.
"The only thing we bring into this chappel is our prayer, love, tolerance and
acceptance. It's a place of contemplation, renewal and love. We leave here
in this place our anxieties, fears, prejudices and intolerance, and cast
them down to the underworld. We plead the Holy Spirit and the Blessed
Mother for changing our lives, for accepting all that is given to us and to be
true men of Christ´s message 'Love one another as I have loved you." –

This was indeed a fine art gala, introducing a lifestyle that all peacemakers
should lead. We enjoyed the colorful works of Matt Lamb, but also
important was his ambition for life, his friends and his work.
Walking through River East Art Center was like a meeting of global
importance as you can see from the beautiful names on the right under the
guidance of the photography of Steve Starr. The Lamb's are a humble and
friendly team only asking to share their inside/outside with everyone there.
Red Carpet Concierge was delighted to be invited as media and we will
carry on so to speak and spread their mission of friendship and art.
Thank you so much Irene Michaels for including us!
