Artists

Oddly enough, Lawrence Day came late to the creation of art objects. He graduated Stevens Institute of Technology with an electrical engineering degree and floated from such diverse jobs as cable splicing supervisor to web master. His interest in art was piqued while still at school, when he had the opportunity to review a number of Leonardo da Vinci manuscripts.

Because of his diverse experiences, he has approached the crafting of objects with an inventive and unorthodox approach, sometimes using traditional methods, but mostly improvising with whatever is available to him at the moment. He produces large works in acrylics, as well as small experimental oil works on acetate and polyester film. He has been active with figure drawing workshops for over twelve years and has shown his work in New York and Paris.

The following books, and videos are selected by the artist either as reference material or of just plain interest to visual artists and connoisseurs alike. There is a more extensive reference library located in the Books section of the web site.
