For three seasons, from 2009 – 2011, a dozen of Columbia artist Laura Spong's paintings featured prominently on the Lifetime TV series Drop Dead Diva. In the series, the Spong paintings added to the contemporary feel of the law offices where the program's main character worked. Recently, Spong's Drop Dead Dive paintings returned to Columbia, and now several of them are on view at Rosso Trattoria Restaurant in Trenholm Plaza in Columbia. In addition to the DDD paintings, newer work by Spong is on view, too, at the restaurant.
