John, were you aware of the existence of this painting?

After formal art training, Lawrence studied oil painting under professional artist Frank Cullen. Painted with the Marrickville Art Society for a number of years, during which time regular exhibitions were held.
Commissioned by the crew of the HMAS Bundaberg to do an oil painting of the ship which was then presented to the Mayoress of Bundaberg on Anzac day 1994, and now hangs in the Council's Chambers. A reproduction of the painting is now with the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.

Lawrence has sold work throughout Australia and overseas, and has had two painting selected for the Sultan of Brunei.
