December Artist - James Lawson

Come upstairs at the Main Branch to the gallery panels and see James Lawson's photography exhibit, Compelling Perspectives. Fascinated by the ‘back stage’, James explores behind the performance to places where things are stored or discarded, away from view. He is visually inspired and influenced by such artists as Edward Hopper and Walker Evans.
