I've been busy, busy producing new work for my upcoming show at AKA Gallery in Paseo! So far, I have eight pieces, never before seen, all completed since May. This will be my largest collection of new work seen in quite a while
The title of the show is "Gilding the Lilly: New Works by Trent Lawson."
That title comes from a somewhat new series of paintings that I've used recycled frames as stretcher bars and made those frames a part of the painting - Not just a decoration. To Gild the Lilly means to adorn unnecessarily something already beautiful. So please make plans to see this exhibit during the month of August. Thank you!

So, updated a lot of content on here... stuck some more images around, as you might have noticed. Check out the 'Fun Extras' section!
I have a couple of solo shows lined up for next year, my first in quite some time. First one will likely open in January sometime at Kickapoo Casino. Not too sure what to expect from that one, but should be fun. I was contacted by Ghost Design about doing this, I will be the first in a series of artists to exhibit in Kickapoo's lounge area.
Also, I'm an alternate again for the Arts Festival in downtown OKC in April. I have a good shot at getting in, so stop by and say hello! And possibly buy something. :)
Time to get busy, busy, busy!

It's been a while since an update... sorry about that.
Getting ready to be in the thick of it preparing for the Paseo Festival. My first time doing this one (and just my second festival). So a little nervous about how I'll set up my tent.
New in the gallery is the painting I recently did of Gary England featuring the Gary England Drinking Game Rules. Please give it a gander, I'm pretty happy with it!
Some other fun news, along with a few other awesome OKC artists, I'll be going to Art Chicago at the end of the month. Going up there to try and shop some galleries, see what's going on in the rest of the country. Should be some good times! I know I'm going with some great folks. So that's exciting.
Thanks for visiting the site! (and reading my ramblings!)

Well, I've been nominated to the Top 5 Best Visual Artist in the OK Gazette's Best of OKC!
It's a pretty cool deal... and a total surprise to me! Just want to thank everyone that already voted for me to get this far, it's really an honor!
But it's not over yet. I've made it to the Top 5, that means there's another round of voting on who gets the coveted title of Best of OKC. If you'd like to vote you can do so here or you can pick up a Gazette and mail in the ballot to them. To see their distribution points to pick up a copy, you can do that here.
Thank you everyone for supporting me!
