Timeline
He created two works depicting the late Nile Kinnick, a 1939 Heisman Trophy winner from the University of Iowa, who was killed during World War II.
One piece is an 18-foot bas relief of Kinnick scoring a touchdown during a college football game against the University of Notre Dame.
Nowlan also designed memorials, including the firefighter sculptures at the Wildland Firefighters National Monument in Boise, Idaho, which was his first commission as a sculptor, and the war memorial in Windsor, Vermont.
Additionally, Nowlan created the statuette awarded by several major ceremonies, including the ESPN ESPY Award and the My VH1 Music Awards.
He received his bachelor's degree from Millersville University in Millersville, Pennsylvania, in 1987.
He took a position with a Philadelphia advertising agency as an art director and designer after graduating from Millersville.
Lawrence Nowlan was an artist-in-residence at the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site for five summers, from 1995 to 1997 and again from 2001 to 2002.
He studied both portrait sculpture and bas-relief while at Saint-Gaudens.
Nowlan was accepted to the New York Academy of Art Graduate School of Figurative Art, where he earned a master's degree in 1996.
His enrollment at the New York Academy of Art proved to be a turning point in his career.
He earned a prestigious residency at the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site in Cornish, New Hampshire, during his first year in graduate school.
The Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site was the home and studio of the late Irish-born American sculptor, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, one of Nowlan's greatest influences.
Nowlan founded his own art studio on the second floor of a former Unitarian Church on Main Street in Windsor, Vermont, shortly after leaving his position at Saint-Gaudens for the first time in 1997.
He created most of his best known works at his Windsor studio.
Nowlan was commissioned for his first major, public work, the Wildland Firefighters National Monument, while still working as an artist-in-residence at Saint-Gaudens.
Rick Kendall, the superintendent of the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site, has noted that the selection of Nowlan is one of only a few occasions when an employee of the National Park Service has been selected to create a national memorial.
The monument commemorates firefighters who have been killed battling wildfires.
Though the ad agency paid well, Nowlan later described himself as "miserable" in a 1999 interview with the Valley News.
Nowlan first became interested in sculpture accidentally after coming across the works of Auguste Rodin in Philadelphia.
He enrolled in a night class in sculpture at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
The class' teacher noticed Nowlan's talent and encouraged him to apply to art school.
Nowlan created three eight-foot tall, bronze statues of firefighters as the centerpiece of the Wildland Firefighters National Monument, which was dedicated on May 25, 2000, in Boise, Idaho.
He also met his future wife while working at Saint-Gaudens, an intern with the Student Conservation Association named Heather Wiley, whom he married in 2003.
Nowlan's second piece is a statue of Kinnick standing 16-feet high, dedicated on September 1, 2006.
Both works stand at the University of Iowa's Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa.
Nowlan's other public works include a statue of Jackie Gleason's character from The Honeymooners television show, Ralph Kramden, which stands inside the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan, New York City.
