Lawrence McLauglin is a sculptor who keeps a residence  in Paris, a workshop in the Loire Valley in France and another on two acres of  desert in Phoenix, Arizona.

McLaughlin's sculpture is noted for its fluid motion and  humorous and dynamic configurations of the human figure and the occasional  animal. He sculpts in concrete, bronze, aluminum and glass and they are often  monumental in stature.

McLaughlin on his work: "Nature and environment play a  large part in my sculpture, and the organic figures refer to visions of the  natural world. They tap into the essential nature of man—a vigorous force that  evokes movement, tension and sensuality. "I want my forms to be compatible with  their environment—to be toyed with and reconsidered, not looked at as finished  compositions. My intention is not to be specific or  literal."

McLaughlin's sculpture, prints and paintings have been featured  in solo and group shows in France, Germany, London, Switzerland and in North  American cities, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle,  Portland, Denver, Phoenix and others.
