About Audrey
Audrey Lawson is a Canadian painter based in Toronto. She holds a BFA from Concordia University in Montreal and an AAS in Design from Parsons School of Design in New York City.
In her current body of work, Tides, Audrey explores the interplay of light—its obstruction, reflection, and illumination. These pieces serve as metaphors for life’s journey, reflecting the challenges we face, the wisdom we gain, and the resilience we develop along the way. Through her art, Audrey invites the viewer to contemplate themes of growth, transformation, and the enduring strength found in moments of change.
Inspiration
“My process is intuitive, often guided by the energy and rhythm I feel within myself, resulting in works that carry a raw, emotional charge."
-
“My work is inspired by my own experiences and emotional journeys. For example, in my Black Paintings series, I was processing a darker period in my life, where I sought to express the balance of light emerging from darkness. Similarly, my Tides series explores themes of renewal and resilience, drawing from personal reflections on life’s natural cycles.”
-
“My process is highly intuitive. I don’t know exactly how a piece will evolve. I allow my emotions, the materials, and the rhythms of the painting itself to guide me. There are moments when I feel completely in tune with the canvas, and other times when I step back to reflect before continuing. This fluidity is an essential part of my work—it’s about trusting the process and letting it reveal itself.”
