The Mystic Lions:

Lawrence M. Hansen Artist / Owner
Born and raised in a small town in Minnesota, Lawrence was encouraged by his parents to express himself through drawing and painting. After high school he gave up a full college scholarship to travel the world in search of experiences to incorporate into his art. Since then he has traveled through more than 30 countries, including Fiji, Australia, Peru, Bali, and Morocco. His mediums range from oil paint and gouache, to pencil, and airbrush on fabric. His subjects have included landscapes, portraits, wildlife, images of the Earth, and mandalas, among many others. Much of his work now revolves around reggae music, providing posters, CD cover art, and stage art for many bands and festivals. He has been married to his wife and partner, Kym Yumiko Hansen, since 1981. They live, work, and party in Northern California.
