David Lyon

I am an artist living and working in Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
I have a compelling need to make and re-make his art has resulted in a variety of approaches in idea, and execution. 
I am fascinated by natural form.
There is an emphasis on draughtsmanship and craft.

I continue to explore my favoured media – acrylic, oil pastel, charcoal and crayon.

I have had many solo and many selected group exhibitions in the UK with many pieces included in private collections.

I studied Art at Bolton College of Art and Design, before completing a BA (hons) in Graphic Design at Leeds Polytechnic. I went on to build a career as an illustrator and designer and began exhibiting his paintings and drawings in 1997.
