Lamar Briggs - Lithograph, Title, "Tiva landscape".

Lamar Briggs, born and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana—the Cajun region of Louisiana—is a colorist who creates monotypes and large-scale abstract acrylic paintings. His studio is located in Palm Beach, Florida. His art education includes: Independent Study, Antibes, France, 1966; Colorado Institute of Art, 1960; Art Center of Los Angeles, 1959; University of Houston, 1958; University of Southwestern Louisiana, 1953. Early in his career, he began creating his distinctive abstract paintings, inspired by nature, music, and a positive outlook on life. His approach is scientific, and he carefully examines the symbolism in his paintings. He possesses a refined knowledge of graphic techniques, enabling him to apply chine collé, collage, woodcut, and etching in his mixed-media monotypes on precious paper. His goal is to create works that appear spontaneous and rhythmic. Briggs has been listed in "Who's Who in American Art" since 1962.
