Donald Lawrence teaches in Visual Arts at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, British Columbia. He has a BFA from the University of Victoria and an MFA from Toronto's York University. Lawrence’s teaching and research interests bring his own artistic practice together with numerous interdisciplinary research and teaching initiatives. In works that range in scale from small models to large and complex diorama-like installation projects Lawrence's artistic works explore the dual landscapes of urban culture and Canada's wilderness. His Underwater Pinhole Photography Project has been exhibited across Canada and has been the subject of two exhibition catalogues and, most recently, a film documentary. Donald Lawrence is a first recipient of a SSHRC Research/Creation grant surrounding “Vernacular-based Artistic Practice and the Personal Museum”. This has, in part, had him researching museums in Franeker, Haarlem, Leiden, and Terschelling during the past two years.
