Susan Lyons studied painting at the American Academy of Art in Chicago and was an active participant in Chicago's 100-year-old Palette and Chisel Academy of Fine Art. It is where she first began exhibiting and selling her work. At 23, she was the youngest winner of the prestigious Gold Medal, which she won for two consecutive years in the annual Oil Painting show plus a third place in the Silver Medal Watercolor show. She entered the Oil Painters of America show once and got seventh place. In 1998 and 2000, she won an artist choice award in the Northwest Rendezvous Show. Lyons’ technique is to paint wet on wet to start and then wet on dry for her finishing touches. She occasionally thins her oils with mineral spirits to obtain a balance of scratchy brushwork against thick opaque strokes for the lights. Lyons’ choice of medium are oil and charcoal.
