I recently revisited Nan Lawson's great shop and blog...which got me thinking...I had to share her great art. We sat down (via email) and I asked Nan some questions:
My first memories of creating are back in kindergarten. When do you remember beginning to "draw little drawings and paint little paintings"?
Nan: I've been drawing as long as I can remember and my earliest memory was at day care when I was really young. There, I would sit and draw horses all day. I remember being particularly proud of how well I drew their legs and faces. I'd love to see those drawings today.
I have recently become a fan of Sunday afternoon picnics in the park. What is your favorite day of the week and why?
Nan: My favorite day has to be Saturday, especially waking up in the morning with the whole work week behind me and the whole weekend ahead. My boyfriend Michael and I usually go get breakfast at our favorite coffee shop and plan the rest of our day. I look forward to it all week.
I am from a small town in South Georgia. Where are you originally from?
Nan: I was born in Virginia, but I grew up in Massachusetts, living in several towns within the Boston area. I went to school in Upstate New York at Syracuse University where I studied Film. Upon graduating Michael and I moved out to Los Angeles where we currently live in a hip, funky, and artistic area known as Silverlake.
What is your favorite creation or photograph you have taken (I noticed your lovely pictures)? And what makes it special to you?
What a sweet little chat you had :) I love the "Autumn Boy" print too. I think I remember the Diana camera print from a recent front page collection on Etsy. I'll definitely check out the shop!
