Some comments received.....

Art Critic:  Simply Degas, refreshing post-impressionism Podi Lawrence captures the exquisite in lush landscapes, in the story-telling of her portraiture, and her versatility in all mediums, a rarity; her spontaneity & passion with paint, a treasure.

Don McGougal:  Podi is a brilliant artist that supplied the art work for the posters and all the promotional materials for at least
10 years to the Uptown Waterloo Jazz Festival in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I also have an original piece of Podi's work that she did of me performing during that festival. It was a gift from my wife and is one of the best gifts I've ever received.

Andy Sookrah - Arts & Letters Club, Toronto.  
I have been inspired by the very talented and creative Podi Lawrence, the way she works and the work she she has produced over the years I have known and worked with her. Her passion for her craft is evident in the brilliant results she has realised over the years. Podi has an inclusive and collaborative approach when working in teams which encourages the best in everyone.

June - Had an amazing weekend Painting Workshop with such a talented Artist & in a fantastic setting at ‪#‎TheHeightsHotel‬ - breakfast, lunch & teatime cake were delicious. Phenomenal views & Podi’s mural at the entrance to the hotel is a splendid rendition of Portland. Recommend this workshop for sure to anyone interested - covered all sorts of medium and techniques - learnt so much & found it was beginning to flow. Met wonderful people from Portland as well as Sutton Coldfield & High Wycombe all different ages - stimulating & interesting. Thank you Podi -Mona
