The slideshow above is just a sample of the artwork you will find by navigating through the website. For those who have visited before, you will notice a slight re-design, but the basic format remains the same. The drop-down menu under the Galleries heading lists the various sub-Galleries, or categories, and from there, just click on the images to see larger versions of the artwork. With this re-design, I have tried to make it easier to make your purchases. The "Buy Now" buttons will take you directly to a dedicated PayPal check-out page where you can select quantities and cost of your purchase. There are many options to use for your purchase, including PayPal Pay Now or Later, Venmo, Apple Pay and of course, credit or debit card options. This re-design is currently a work-in-progress, so if you do not find the artwork you wish to purchase, please stop back again, as I am adding pages and artwork every day.
Welcome to the Studio
Whether you were led here searching for Pacific Northwest landscapes, Western wildlife, or a special piece for your home, welcome.
I’m Lawrence Tripoli, a self-taught artist devoted to the classic, demanding craft of black-and-white rendering. For over forty years, my work has explored the rich depths of light and shadow—primarily through the precise strokes of pen & ink, the tonal nuance of graphite, and the sharp, etched contrast of scratchboard (with occasional touches of colored ink and pencil).
Here, you will find:
The Galleries: Curated collections of wildlife studies, historic architecture, coastal lighthouses, and Western portraits—available as archival fine art prints and boxed note cards. Custom Commissions: Working directly from your favorite photographs, I create one-of-a-kind heirloom portraits of beloved pets, horses, family homes, and cherished people.Take your time wandering through the collections. If a particular piece resonates with you, or if you have a custom portrait in mind for an upcoming milestone, I would be honored to create it for you.
