Therese Lawlor
Bio
Born and educated in Ireland, Therese Lawlor qualified as a graphic designer in Limerick before leaving for Dublin to work in television and advertising. She came to live in Reading in 1988.
She sees Reading as her adoptive home and in the last 5 years has produced several watercolours of the town’s beautiful views, historic buildings and busy street scenes. She can often be found painting out of doors with other artists in the town – though sun, rain, hail and snow at all times of the year. She is an active member of the Reading Guild of Artists and is currently its Communications Officer.
Therese for MG
The Reading Quiz is a work intended for children, who represent a very special audience of MG.
The artist produced slightly obscure paintings of well-known Reading landmarks and turned them into booklets for display on the bus. Therese will provoke the little ones, asking 'How well do you know Reading?' Reading Buses go to all of the places depicted in the images and her piece would be a way of promoting the history of the town.
Also part of Therese's work is a competition with a prize for the lucky winner.

The Reading Quiz
As well as being entertaining, this work encourages children (young and old!) to look up and see some of the Reading lovely landmarks our town has to offer.
