Jerome Lawrence discusses Big Picture Book of Art: The Fine Art of Jerome Lawrence.
Local Atlanta artist Jerome Lawrence will discuss his art and his struggle with mental illness. His vibrant, cheerful painting titled "Tulips are People II," was featured on the Carter Center's 2008 holiday card. Lawrence was selected not only for his artistic skill, but also because his life of recovery with schizophrenia is a message of hope for others struggling with mental illness. Lawrence, whose pieces favor vivid colors and often depict natural subjects like flowers and landscapes, says the tulips were inspired by a springtime visit to the Center's grounds. He believes tulips, in their many shapes and hues, represent people from around the world and the beauty that can occur when we all work together. Personalized copies of Lawrence's Big Picture Book of Art will be available for purchase. (jasbro)… (more)
