ST. PETERSBURG — The art of Bob Lawson will be featured in an exhibit during the Second Saturday Art Walk, set for Saturday, Aug. 13, 5 to 9 p.m., at Woodfield Fine Art Gallery, 2323 Central Ave., St. Petersburg.

Lawson has been performing as a mentalist with his award-winning show “Mind Games” for more than 30 years. He formerly served as a consultant on the TV show “The Mentalist.” 

During the pandemic, Lawson had time to get back to another avocation: painting. Returning to the easel, Lawson created a new group of paintings that will be featured at Woodfield Fine Art Gallery. Attendees who visit the gallery during the Second Saturday Art Walk will have an opportunity to see Lawson’s work and meet the artist.
