LAWRENCE
Michael always knew he was going to be an artist. After graduation from High School, he had always dreamt of creating art in Europe and he made that dream come true. When he returned home to the USA, he moved to San Francisco with his friend Eric Hoppe and they started "The Michael Lawrence Company" which produced fine porcelain ceramics. Their artistic ability caught the eye of Disney and Warner Brothers. They created one of a kind collectables that were sold exclusively at Disney and Warner Brothers stores. After they closed their high volume studio in 2000, Michael continued to paint throughout the years. And we are so happy he did. Although his porcelain figurines were creations of places and things in their travels all over the world, it was his imagination and dreams that were the source of his paintings. People, Places, Things took shape. In the process magnificent works were created. We are happy we have cataloged the majority of his paintings with the Ability to create Reproductions so everyone can enjoy them in their own homes and or on merchandise to wear, use, or give as gifts. Michael started Michael Lawrence Fine Art and Studios to reproduce his own art but also give other artists a showcase for their art too. Our featured artists are amazing too!
