About Lawrence Finn

I studied art at the East Sydney Technical College, School of Fine Arts from 1986 to 1989 specialising in printmaking. I followed this with employment at the University of New South Wales, College of Fine Arts 1991-92 as a printmaking technician. I furthered my academic qualifications with a Post Graduate Diploma from Sydney College of the Arts (University of Sydney) in 1993. In 2007, I completed a Master of Fine Art in Printmaking at the National Art School, East Sydney. In 2025 I completed a Master of Teaching.

I specialize in lino cut and wood engraved work, and mostly produce ugly stories for beautiful people or as one critic put it “sometimes wry observations of the contemporary Australian cultural condition”. I try to produce work that is both aesthetically reconciled and also has a slightly deeper level of discourse than the common commodity based postcards which are produced in abundance within the Australian visual arts sector. My work is held in collections in Australia and overseas some of which are held in great esteem.
