About T. Allen Lawson
T. Allen Lawson is drawn to the quieter side of life. Over time he has developed a discipline of patiently observing and studying the often-unnoticed rhythms and subtleties of his surroundings. In his paintings he strives to build layers and textures with pigment to create the abstraction and nuanced depth he feels in nature and the world around him.
Born and raised in Sheridan, Wyoming, the American West is an integral part of him. Tim studied drawing and portraiture at the American Academy of Art in Chicago. He furthered his formal studies attending the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts in Old Lyme, Connecticut. A lifelong student, his dedication to and love of his profession are always evolving as his interests and influences continue to challenge him.
Visit his website to learn more about Tim’s numerous accomplishments including recent press and catalogs for past exhibitions.

I really enjoyed hearing T. Allen Lawson talk at the Wyo. Theater in Sheridan, Wyoming this summer. I am taking water color classes from his friend and mentor Nancy Buening, and can only hope to get this good. If he is listening he talks just like her.
Hello Pamela,
Thank you for your comment. I am enjoying the catalog from the Sheridan HOMETOWN exhibit, the work is really special!
