When painting, I am not “Creator”. I am simply the space where creation shows up. I paint under the assumed name of Lawson in an attempt to further remove ego from the equation.

To paraphrase Eckhart Tolle “All creativity comes out of inner spaciousness". Once the Creation has happened and something has come into form, I have to be vigilant so that the notion of me or mine does not arise. If I take credit for what I accomplished, the ego has returned, and the spaciousness has become obscured.

Because my inspiration does not come out of my own devices, all of my work is one of a kind. The observer will not find a recognizable style.

My sole desire is that these expressions resonate with the soul of the observer and the piece becomes theirs to enjoy.
