Jacqueline Lyons is an oil and acrylic painter who creates metaphorical pieces, the subject matter of which is indicative of the striving of the human psyche and the masks we wear. Jacqueline Lyons is an artist who explores contemporary realism and pop surrealism with both oil and acrylic paint. A graduate student and therapist, Lyons explores themes of mental health and trauma recovery, believing firmly in the saying coined by Cesar A. Cruz, “Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.”
Because of the therapeutic nature of art, the compliment between art and mental health is present throughout Lyons’ works depicted both literally and through metaphor often depicted by the sea, evocative portraiture, and animal symbolism. For collectors who value complexity, nuance, the macabre, and the meaning-making that comes from the handmade and inspired work of a self-taught artist with an old soul, consider Lyons Fine Art Studio both your respite and your source for the piece which you've been searching.
