"Painting to Lawrence is as natural as breathing, and the distinction between what constitutes work and pleasure is blurred. And certainly more and more this artist allows that all important element, process, to be revealed in his paintings. The process of making art is, after all, as profound a celebration of life as can be. All other discussions of aesthetic intent aside, Lawrence’s art is most manifestly just that."

Michael Welzenbach, art critic of the Washington Post and LosAngeles Times (from a 1995 article)
