"I
was blessed with a
wonderfully nurturing childhood, and I'm
sure that has had a role in making children
such a favourite subject of mine. Painting
the things that delight me — a child's little
hands in prayer, the play of light on a
fringed coverlet, the precious feeling of a
baby in one's arms — makes artwork ever
fascinating and challenging. I love to
include the timeless old toys that are a
child's patient and loving companions, and
to place them in surroundings that feel
familiar, comfortable and safe, like the
childhood I remember."

Lawrence grew up and studied art in New York City, in an environment ideal
for a budding artist. Her earliest childhood memories are of happily
painting alongside her mother in her studio, using her mom’s best sable
brushes and paints.
Today, like her famous mother, Lawrence is well known to collectors for her
paper doll books. She often modeled for her mother, artist Queen Holden,
whose paper doll books from the 1930s to the 1960s are highly collectible
and are still being reproduced todayRobert

bestsellers, and he was recently mobbed for autographs at the McMichael

Treasured in Her Heart
"I
had painted many madonnas using this lovely model over the years. She
always had such a tender and reverent way of holding the baby that was most
inspiring to me. The title refers to Luke 2:19 - 20: 'But Mary
treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart . . . "
