Biography: Lawrence, born in Arkansas but who now resides in Arizona, has been a professional artist for 25 years. Prior to this, he was an educator, teaching fine art and art history, as well as philosophy. This combination can be seen in the pensive and wise faces of his subjects. Although he worked in various media and subject matter, he is known for his solitary and incredibly strong Indians, painted in vibrant acrylics that reflect the colors of the desert sunset. Lawrence's use of fetishes and swirling, turbulent clouds evoke a sense of magic and mystery. The unusually weathered and expressive faces give a hint of the spiritual strength and integrity of these ancient people.
