John Lawson

I am a life long artist who has been creating and selling art from my home studio for many years. We have recently relocated to the County after many years of visiting and have set up a studio in our new home on the Black River.

I have University degrees in Fine Art and Philosophy as well as an Architecture Degree and am a practising Architect.  My works are in private and public collections, including government and corporate offices. 

My work reflects the amazing surroundings of the County, both painting and drawing, I do landscape and figurative works and landscapes can range from realist to abstract, catching the moment.    Early works were more figurative and realist in style so I continue to revisit that style from time to time even now.

I often paint first with oil as the foundation and then layer on Acrylic as it is much more spontaneous and brings the moment to life, allowing the brush strokes to live.
