Ted Lawson
Ted’s initial art training came during high school in Phoenix, Arizona. Ted always
remained interested in art but a tour in the US Navy and a career in engineering
delayed his early progress. Ted has since studied with nationally known
instructors Gerald Brommer, Tony Couch and Fred Graff and continues training
and development in watercolor composition and design.

Ted works in watercolors and acrylics primarily in a representational style
however he experiments with non objective and abstract styles. He leaves it up
to the viewer to use his or her own intellect and experiences to find the
underlying meanings.

Ted likes to create art using "the things that people see and use everyday" as
his inspiration. His ideas involving common everyday scenes or objects spring
from his extensive foreign and domestic travels as well as glimpses of New York
City. Ted continuously strives to accomplish the goal of creating something that
is entertaining and thought provoking for other people to look at and enjoy.

Born in Terre Haute, Indiana, Ted resides in Canton, Ohio with his wife Patricia,
a high school Spanish teacher. They have one daughter, Emily who lives in NYC
and works at a Manhattan law firm that specializes in live productions for
Broadway.

Ted is a signature member of the Ohio Watercolor Society. Even though he got
a late start he is an award winning artist and has been juried into Regional,
State and International Exhibitions which include:
