Artist / Interior Designer Iran Lawrence
She was already an accomplished artist when she entered the University of Delaware and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics in 1979.
Her evocative abstract paintings convey an illusive interplay of glowing color fields emanating warmth, beauty and calm. As a widely published and exhibited multi-disciplined artist, her life embodies a cosmopolitan flair deeply rooted within the wealth of her Persian heritage and further refined through the spirit and the genius of the West.
