Artist Statement – Sarah Lyons

I believe art is a powerful voice, that visual metaphors and symbols communicate meaning and can incite change. I am moved by art that demands participation—that is, art that seeks to pull its audience into the ideas and elements of the art itself while simultaneously pushing the viewer into creating a better story for themselves and the world in which they live. I want my art to have a life of its own, for my creativity to be a catalyst within others. My goal is to explore profound questions and ideas, to be present in and filled by this amazing earth, to live fully within my environment as a mother, lover and artist, and to respond to this mind-blowing miracle of life by creating art that speaks. 

My current work draws from themes within my environment. The vastness of nature with her open spaces and mountains inspire my brush, while I celebrate her minute details in watercolor and charcoal dust.
