“By making painting and sculpture, I make myself; I am creating me, or my own sense of me. My sense of art is in the arena of sensation”  - Michael Lawrence

To Lawrence, the true adventure of painting lies within the heart and mind.  Lawrence’s method for creating paintings—like the ones included in this exhibition —is fluid and forgiving; he begins with a basic, dynamic sketch before intuitively selecting bright colors to push about with his paintbrush against the canvas.

Enter the arena of sensation as you explore the life and paintings of Michael Lawerence, through this student-curated exhibition from our permanent collection.
