Jeff Lyons - Fine Artist
Member Since: 09/28/2011
Born in Salem, MA I grew up on the East Coast in New England and the Washington D.C. area.
Studied Architecture and Graphic Design/Fine Arts at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY
Relocated to Kansas City in the early seventies and soon after married a beautiful young lady. We raised five great children (all grown) and have two grandchildren to date.
After 12 years on our church staff I have spent the last 24+ years in the sign industry primarily as a graphic designer.
Following a postponement of close to thirty years I revisited a series of simple pencil studies I had worked on soon after leaving school. From these studies I launched a delayed but renewed creative effort of colored pencil drawings and acrylic paintings.
For the last few years most of what I have done has been generated by an experience with my grandson. He had put together an “airplane” using popular children's building bricks and asked me to draw it. Their geometric forms, their pure colors along with the creative vision of a child embodied in these toys captured my adult attention.
