THE JOURNEY CONTINUES
JOHN LAWSON'S NORTH CAROLINA CHILDHOOD WOULD PROVIDE THE SETTING FOR THE FIRST STRIRRINGS OF THE ARTISTIC URGES WITHIN HIM. BEING THE THRID OF SIX CHILDREN THE NEED FOR SELF EXPRESSION BECAME A DOMINATE FORCE IN HIS LIFE. MOTIVATED BY DESIRE TO COMMUINCATE HIS FEELINGS, EMOTIONS AND SENSIBLITIES. JOHN WOULD FIND HIS CREATIVE VOICE IN THE ARTISTIC PORCESS. THE DESIRE FOR SELF EXPRESSION WOULD SET HIM ON A JOURNEY TO CONVEY WITH GREAT PASSION A VISUAL COMMENTARY OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE. WITH DISCIPLINE AND SELF CONTROL HIS WORK CELEBRATES AND MIRRORS THE COMPLEXCITY AND EXCELLENCY OF THE HUMAN CONDITION. A DYNAMIC PERPECTIVE PORVIDES JOHN WITH UNIQUE VANTAGE POINT TO EXAMINE THE FAMILY OF MAN ON MANY LEVELS. THERFORE HE IS IN CONSTANT PURSUIT OF BEAUTY AND TRUTH. HIS NEED TO EXPLAINE THE WORLD AROUND HIM AND HIS PLACE IN THAT WORLD WOULD FIND ITS EXPRESSION IN HIS LOVE FOR DRAWING, OIL PAINTING, PASTEL AND AIRBRUSHING. ONE IS IMMEDIATELY ENGAGED BY HIS PORTRAITURE, FIGURATIVE WORK, LANDSCAPES AND STILL LIFES. NOW A BRIDGEPORT CONNECTICUT RESIDENT, JOHN'S WORK HAS BEEN EXHIBITED THROUGHOUT THE TRI STATE AREA. HE ALSO RECIEVES A GREAT DEAL OF SATISFACTION SERVING IN A MENTORSHIP CAPACITY FOR OTHERS ON THEIR ARTISTIC JOURNEY. HE ENJOYS CONDUCTING WORKSHOPS AND PROVIDING ART INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE YOUNG AND OLD ALIKE.
