“I love to take old things and give them new life,” says Jonathan Lawlor, 27, of Fairfield. “Art is a passion of mine and I want to share it with everyone.”
Jonathan, friend and co-worker of Leslie Freeman of Freeman’s Flowers, recently showed The “Times” his many art pieces that he plans to present at one of Dallas’ premier galleries sometime before the end of this year.
“You can make art from just about anything,” he continues. “It’s about looking at the item in a new light.”
Jonathan uses all types of mediums for his art pieces. Anything from glass that he etches with designs, fishing lures, different paper textures, repurposed wood, yarn, wire, metal… basically anything you can think of, he’s put it to use in his creations.
Now living in the old Manahan Home, that Freeman’s Flowers has recently occupied, Jonathan is able to utilize the old building out back as his artist’s workshop; and has even found many useful items that were left behind to incorporate in his pieces.
Be sure to stop by Freeman’s Flowers and check out Jonathan’s art and the new flower shop.
The “Times” will keep you posted on the date and location of the gallery showing.
