 Gary
Lyon was born 1947 in Rockland, Massachusettes.
He attended the Boston School of the Museum
of Fine Arts and Tufts University, graduating
from both in 1971. In 1972 Gary moved to
Homer, Alaska where he lives today.
Gary Lyon rose to public prominence in the mid 1970's
as one of Alaska's finest wildlife artists. Now living
with his wife and children in a log home near the town
of Homer, Lyon draws and paints wildlife in a studio
above scenic Kachemak Bay.
Lyon's artistic passion stems from his sheer enjoyment
of the outdoors. The denizens of Alaska's vast boreal
forests, open tundra, mountain peaks and marine environments
hold a unique enchantment for the artist. Lyon shares
this enchantment through sketches, studies, oils
and stone lithographs.

Wolves have become Lyon's lastest preoccupation and
he captures the inquisitiveness, intelligence and
power of the gray wolf.
Lyon adds "an artist needs to draw from experiences,
paint from life, feel the wind on his cheek. That
enthusiasm will come through in his work."
