Lorraine Lawson Fine Arts Gallery recognized as The San Jose Mercury’s 2009 Readers' Choice

June 30, 2009 - PRLog -- Lorraine Lawson Fine Arts Gallery has been recognized as the 2009 Readers' Choice of The San Jose Mercury News. Selected as the top rated art gallery of Silicon Valley, the coveted award is well deserved.

Located in the heart of downtown Campbell, California, Lorraine Lawson Fine Arts showcases the original works of Belgium-born Lorraine Lawson who was raised in Silicon Valley but influenced by the works of Gustave Flasschoen (1868-1940), her great-grandfather.

"Growing up around his art had a profound effect on me in a technical way.  I would lose myself in his paintings, studying his brushstrokes, feeling as if I were there as he rendered them," comments Lawson.

A favorite destination point for art enthusiasts from near and far, the highly acclaimed Lorraine Lawson Fine Arts Gallery also carries the works of a choice group of other fine artists.

Selections in the gallery range from landscapes, seascapes, and florals, to expressionistic abstracts in pastel, acrylic, oil, and mixed media.  

Lorraine’s works can be found throughout the Silicon Valley and beyond in restaurants, physicians’ and dentists’ offices, corporate lobbies and many exclusive homes.  She is also represented by the Dayle Dunn Gallery in Half Moon Bay.  

To view the works of Lawson and other fine artists stop by the gallery located at 295 E Campbell Ave., Campbell, California or call (408) 838-3533
