About the artist:

     Lawrence Hollingsworth, a native of Norfolk, Virginia, derived his inspiration

for painting from country landscapes during his travels as an antiques importer.  He

studied art history and the styles and painting techniques of such notable painters as

Monet, Turner, Constable, Corot, Sargent, et.al. and is self-taught.

About the artist's work:

     The primary subject matter of Lawrence Hollingsworth's work  is  landscape, the human figure, and still life.   

Brilliant colors and rich texture pervade his paintings and his signature style may best be characterized as generally

impressionistic although he possesses the unique ability to paint in abstract and realistic styles as well.  He has as

much  potential as  I have seen in any emerging artist in some time and combines energy and confidence  in every brush

stroke.  His medium is oil on canvas or linen.

(Charles Kello)

Artist's statement:

     "It is my expressed intent to depict the myriad of colors, shapes, light, and complex features found in nature

through the rich visual language of painting.  Beyond the apparent images of nature there is also a greater dimension that

I believe can only be expressed through our  human senses and not from technological means.   I hope that 

my paintings may enrich the lives of all who view them and that they will foster a new appreciation of our

natural world." 

 Education:

    Mr. Hollingsworth received his Undergraduate and Master's Degrees from Old Dominion

University and his Doctorate Degree from the College of William and Mary in Virginia.  He

currently resides in Gloucester, Virginia.
