James Lawrence

James has been a professional artist for over 30 years, gaining his Batchelor of Fine arts in Printmaking in 1973 at the Otis art Institute in California.

Through the years, James has been involved with many exhibitions throughout the United States, Europe, Australia, Taiwan and Japan. He was included in California Design 76 and selected for a printmakers exhibit at the Californian Museum of Sciences and Industry. His work has featured in Home Magazine, Californian Printmakers Printz Magazine and Décor Magazine.

For James, the primary aim in producing any work of art is that of involving the viewer. James emphasises the importance of capturing the interest of his audience and arousing their curiosity allowing questions to arise within the viewer.

“To achieve this end, I constantly experiment with the subject matter, media and form, because it continually challenges me to further my range of expression. This attitude enables growth to be automatic and leads me into areas that are always new and different and hopefully stimulating and exciting to view.
