Artist Biographies

Lawrence Mathis

Artist Lawrence Mathis lives and works on 30 acres near Chickamauga, Georgia, USA, about 20 miles from his boyhood home. Mathis has drawn and painted since childhood, showing talent and a special interest in art and architecture from an early age. He is self-taught in both areas.

He attended Berry College in Rome, Georgia, graduating with a degree in Philosophy and a minor in Art History. After college, Mathis spent ten years working as an architectural designer in Chattanooga and Atlanta, Georgia. He left the architectural field to pursue fine art full-time in 1992, although he still enjoys designing a house now and then.

Mathis loves to experiment with all types of art media including oils, pastels, watercolor, pen and ink, charcoal and graphite. He works in several ‘voices,’ ranging from carefully detailed architectural drawings to loosely rendered mythic pictures to abstracted landscapes in oil and pastel with an emphasis on color study. Mathis’s work is in many public and private collections across the United States and Europe.

In his spare time Mathis occasionally teaches classes in various media. He also loves gardening and has made a special study of ante-bellum architecture in Georgia.
