On  the  Art  of  Lee  Lawson

by Clarissa Pinkola Estes 

author of Women Who Run With the Wolves

 

 Lee Lawson's gifts as an artist are evident not only in her superb technical

skills, nor only in the ethereal palette she creates for her work. Even more so

her gifts derive from an ability that is older than time....... the ability to envision. 

                                                                    

She has clear memory of things that dance, hide, misbehave, dream, sleep,

appear and disappear in the human psyche.

                                                                                                                                                                                         

In myths and dreams, the unconscious__ both collective and personal__ is often

symbolically portrayed as a great body of water. Lee Lawson's work clearly reflects

 those oceans that surge and thrive beneath our mundane consciousness. 

 

 She is as much a shapechanger as she is an artist; a human being one moment, 

 a sea creature the next. 

                                                                                                                             

Only a person who navigates the interior life on a regular basis can consistently  

bring such spare but evocative images to canvas. 

                                                                           

 Her work, most richly viewed as both outer and inner seeing, testifies to the fact 

 that she is a rare artist especially skilled in bringing to the surface mysterious yet

  clearly stated first person accounts of the deep imaginal world.
