Lawrence has been painting on her pottery for over 20 years. Her unique style of pottery
is available in selected galleries and museum shops nationwide.
Her
studio and showroom - located just outside of Woodstock, New York, the famed artist colony
90 miles north of Manhattan - are open by appointment (845 679-4882). Please feel free to
stop by and browse.
Liz
paints detailed landscapes, floral, and Victorian interior and porch scenes on functional
earthenware pottery. These beautiful scenes of a calmer world beckon
the viewer inside. "I try to create a special world, a peaceful world, where everyone
has just stepped out so that viewers can imagine themselves into the scene." Liz paints with underglazes and covers the piece
with a clear lead-free glaze. The pottery is
dishwasher and microwave safe and is meant to be used everyday as well as displayed. 
Born
in Irvington, New York, Liz studied at Penland School of Crafts (1977), Parsons/New School
(1978), and received her BFA in Ceramics at New York State College of Ceramics, Alfred,
New York (1981). Her work has been featured in Matter Magazine; "Formal
Country," a book by Pat Ross; the American Craft Council Show (Baltimore, MD); the
Invitational Show of NYS Ceramic Artist (Cooperstown NY);
and at nationwide museums and craft galleries.
