Briana Lyon

Born in Los Angeles, where I studied film and new media, I completed my education in art and cultural history in British Columbia, Canada while painting on the side. I have shown in B.C., Alberta and Southern California. I Recently completed a self-directed visual artist residency at the prestigious Banff Centre. I was also honored to work with artist Gordon Halloran in the creation of the massive "Ice Gate 2010" for the Vancouver winter Olympic games.

I freelance as an art analyst, historical art authenticator and writer. I am passionate about my vision for painting and for gaining exposure in the contemporary art world.
