James Lawson
Photography
Artist’s Statement:
I started learning photography under David Levinson at Thomas Nelson Community College. I studied art in high school and won two art awards, but photography was the medium I excelled at. I graduated from Chowan University in Studio Arts in July 2004. I was also in four editions of "Who’s Who in American Art". I enjoy photographing wildlife, landscapes, history, architecture, seascapes and nature. I have earned nine awards shooting photographs around the area and in Virginia. I have exhibited my work in twento galleries and in more than 55 art shows in Virginia and North Carolina. I have sold my work in the Tidewater area. The most recent at the Virinia Store and Best of Friends in Hampton, and also, the City Art Cafe in Williamsburg.
