In 1982 Laura Bender and her husband, John Early, established their partnership, Site Painters. They have created numerous installations —  exterior and interior murals, paintings on wood panels, low-relief painted installations, and sculptures.

Their public art can be explored at www.SitePainters.net

Commissions have ranged from schools, libraries, community centers, and medical facilities to banks, restaurants, and hotels. These installations can be found in Oregon, California, Hawaii, Texas, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Minnesota.
