JOYCE LYON
Joyce Lyon’s drawings and combinations of digital imagery and text are concerned with the experience and representation of place. She has made work about the known and the unknown in her garden at night (Approaches to the Garden) and about her attempts to understand and accept the limitations to understanding her father’s experience of the Holocaust (Conversations with Rzeszow).
In a body of work related to Found in Translation, Lyon has made graphite and oilbar drawings of Italian gardens, both formal and working gardens. Her work has been exhibited and collected nationally and internationally. Lyon is a recipient of three Minnesota State Arts Board Fellowships and has participated in a Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad in Poland. She is an Associate Professor of Art at the University of Minnesota.
