Lyon’s technique is to paint wet on wet to start and then wet on dry for her finishing touches.

“My style is realistic with as much impressionistic color as possible. I like to combine wide brushes for sweeping strokes in the background with small, soft brushes for subtle details in my center of interest.”

One of my greatest passions is drawing, I hope to show collectors that works on paper is a wonderful addition to a serious collection
