Terryl Lawrence, Ed.D.

Terryl Lawrence earned a doctoral degree from Columbia University and is a painter and photographer. She has had numerous exhibitions of her work in New York and Florida, and is the recipient of many awards including a national grant in the Humanities. Terryl wrote the preface to Chaim Potok's "artist in Exile", and has taught photography, drawing and art history at CW Post College, SUNY Empire State College, FAU, and other public and private institutions. Currently she is a professor at the Digital Media Arts College in Boca Raton, and loves every minute of her immersion in the arts.

Quoting from an article by one of her students: "The term 'Boca Bohemian' would seem to be an oxymoron - but we have the genuine article right here . . . it is none other than Dr. Terryl Lawrence, our art appreciation teacher. . . . she is knowledgeable and passionate about art without being stuffy. . . Her teaching style is charming, humorous and a little off-beat. Her descriptions of people in the art world from patrons to dealers are filled with juicy details. . . it has been a memorable and fascinating journey."
