Carmel-by-the-Sea

About Thomas Lawrence

“Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that great art is a profound link between history and human emotion.”

Since our founding in the historic heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea, Thomas Lawrence Fine Art has stood as a pillar of expertise in the Californian and American art world. Specializing in exceptional 19th, and 20th-century paintings, we offer a meticulously curated selection of fine art.

We invite you to visit our Carmel-by-the-Sea gallery, where you will find an extensive collection of museum-quality artwork. Our viewing rooms are devoted to the display of fine art, furnished with period antiques.

The Contemporary Division

At the turn of the 21st century, Thomas Lawrence opened a contemporary division, marking our commitment to promoting top-tier realist living artists who have undergone rigorous classical training. These artists honor the traditions of the masters while bringing a fresh, modern perspective to the easel.
All inquiries are welcome! If you have American paintings or works on paper which you would like to sell or have appraised, our directors are always available for consultation.
