  Anne K Lyon

  Anne K Lyon grew up in Stow, OH but has lived in California, Texas, Tennessee, and most recently Arkansas. She recently moved back to her beautiful home state of Ohio and now lives in Avon Lake – Lake Erie has always drawn her to it and now she can see it every day! In addition to art, she loves to read, garden, and travel. She has been painting or drawing since she was very young, but only in the last 20 years has she decided she was an artist! She studied pastels with Suzi Patton, took MANY workshops, read many books, and watched many DVDs in her attempt to teach herself watercolor. While she lived in Arkansas, she joined the Midsouthern Watercolorists Society to learn even more about the medium. She was the secretary, then newsletter editor, and finally the annual exhibition chairman. Over the years she has been commissioned for many portraits or other subjects and has periodic shows in a gallery. but mostly enjoys painting for her own enjoyment. For the last several years, she has participated in an online group of artists called ABUN (Artists and Biologists Unite for Nature). They have painted an impressive number of paintings of endangered animals for use by animal conservation groups for educational purposes, including ones geared for children. She currently draws every Friday night with The Pretentious Tremont Artists, drawing many people of Cleveland.
