Barbara Lawrence

Artist Biography

"As a Marin County, California native and the daughter of a painter, I grew up with art and nature all around me. Just as each day is unique, each painting I create reflects a very personal experience. I almost always work on location. This in itself is a challenging and a powerful experience. To sit and watch the landscape change with the shifting light the shadows rolling over the hills, or the colors and movement of a beautiful flower, brings me great satisfaction.'

Barbara Lawrence studied at California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland and the Academy of Art in San Francisco. Deciding early on to make her living with art, Lawrence worked in design, production graphics and computer illustration. A few years ago she made the courageous decision to follow the momentum of what she sees as the most creative period of her life and start painting art, prints and posters full time.

The artist teaches workshops in the United States and Europe in pastel. Her art, prints nad posters can be seen in numerous shows and galleries in and around California, including the Marin/Scapes Show in July 2002.
