Rod Lawrence
Rod Lawrence thinks his art is a grand
excuse to be outdoors, studying and observing wildlife. His
paintings reflect his enthusiasm for nature. Working primarily in
acrylics and gouache - but also proficient in oils, pen and ink and
pastels - Lawrence depicts his wildlife subjects in a highly detailed and
precise fashion.
Lawrence graduated magna cum laude with a
fine arts degree from the University of Michigan. Since then he has
been working full time as a professional artist. Some of his credits
include being named Michigan Ducks Unlimited's 1979 Waterfowl Artist of
the Year and Michigan's 1981 Artist of the Year. His design won the
1983 Michigan Duck Stamp competition, and he has twice won the Michigan
Trout Stamp competition, in 1981 and 1987.
Lawrence paintings hang in various
collections, galleries and museums in the United States and Canada.
He has exhibited in numerous group and one-man shows, including the
prestigious Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum's "Birds in Art"
show. His art has appeared as covers, illustrations and features in
many outdoor magazines and books, and he is an active member of many
wildlife and conservation organizations.
A log cabin in the woods, overlooking a
branch of the Manistee River in Michigan, is home for Lawrence and his
family. The insignia preceding his signature in each of his
paintings illustrates the importance of his family in his life and
work. The oddly shaped "S" is for his wife Susan, and the
"M" and "B" represent his sons, Matthew and Brett.
