Artist Statment and Bio

Artist Statement

I see my work as a representation of thought, travel, and exploration. I am inspired by the balance of space in the environment. Working with pen allows me to make permanent marks of my perceptions. All of my pieces are hand created using only pen and watercolor.

Artist Bio.

Erica M Lyon has lived in Montana, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, California, and Ghana, West Africa. She attended Western Washington University to earn a BA in Fine Art and a double minor in Art History and Education.

She defined her style in college and then refined it while serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in West Africa, teaching art to deaf students. There she was challenged by explaining art in sign language. It was this language she learned that taught her the next step with her art, how to clearly speak without words.

Now her art work is a representation of her thoughts without words, of her travels up cliff faces, inward travels of the heart, mind and body, and travels to faraway places. She is constantly exploring new places. Erica moved to St. George to live in the desert and enjoy the simple beauty that it has to offer and what she has found is a new place to paint and explore. She currently is works as a professional hiking guide and at “Earth and Light Gallery” in Kayenta.
