About LeeLawrie.com

LeeLawrie.com is
Gregory Paul Harm, M.A.
(...and vice versa.)

LeeLawrie.com was founded in 2006, originally as www.Bisonwerks.com. Greg Harm solely conceived, designed, developed, illustrated and administers both sites, although Bisonwerks.com is presently deprecated, seldom updated and its days are numbered...

Since 2000, Harm has crisscrossed the United States, researching the life and works of Lee Lawrie. By default, Harm's research on Lawrie; and the many places to where he's traveled, explored, photographed and documented, have given him an appreciation of the bread, depth and scope of Lawrie's character and work that few, if any other researchers have achieved. 

Consequently, this passion for his subject, the research, writing skills he's developed over a quarter century as a legal researcher and paralegal, plus more than a half-century of photography have given him the ability to achieve a mastery of his subject matter that is both unprecedented and unequalled.  This is why when you Google "Lee Lawrie," Harm's site and references to his research and publishing organically populate the top search results.  These are honest search results: not paid.  These results are ranked by Google, using their mysterious algorithms, and based upon the sheer volume of research that Harm has done for nearly two decades, voluntarily, at his own expense and which he freely shares with the world.  He is available for consultation, speaking engagements and welcomes your questions, via our contact page.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER--
AND I SHARE WHAT I KNOW

Journalists, archivists and historians turn to me when they want to learn more about Lee Oskar Lawrie.  This isn't boasting; it's history. And perhaps it's because I'm the nation's foremost authority on the life and works of Lee Oskar Lawrie.  I know and share things.  I provide context. I lecture. I provide answers.

UNDERWRITERS WANTED

I've been devoted to the study of Lee Lawrie's life and works since 2000, and have undertaken many photographic expeditions to destinations where his work is located.  Because it is so widespread, it involves travel and expense.

As an independent researcher, I finance my own travel, research, publishing and all of the rest of this work; i.e., I receive no grants or endowments to fund my work.  Look for a Patreon page in the near future, to help me generate some crowdfunding to keep expanding the scope of my work.

HELP WANTED:
SAVING LAWRIE'S ART
FROM THE WRECKING BALL

I do this work out of an admiration for the style and power of Lawrie's art. 

But while his legacy of architectural sculpture endures, he has never been given adequate recognition for his contribution to 20th Century American Art. Few other artists have contributed so many works, honoring God and Country, the Nation's War Dead, nor enhanced Churches, Schools, Libraries, State Capitols, Universities, and commercial buildings to the extent that Lawrie did.

And because Lawrie is not well-known, consequently, much of his art has been destroyed, in places like Caltech, Wichita, Los Angeles and others where they've never heard of him. Hopefully, with an increased awareness of the significance of his collective body of work, his work will be better appreciated by the children of today, than it was by the adults of the past.
