Jeff Lyons is currently residing in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada formerly from Calgary, Alberta. He is a self taught, self promoted full time professional visual artist, oil painter. Jeff started cartooning comic strips in 1973 at age 8 and painting in 1987. His earliest paintings were mainly realistic or impressionistic in nature. Jeff dabbled in oil, acrylic, oil pastel, pencil and ink and pencil crayon mediums. He began displaying and selling his artwork in 1996 and made it a fulltime creative pursuit in 2003. He has sold his oil paintings online since July 1999. In 1996 Jeff began exploring his darker, quirkier side with ambiguous paintings. He wanted to express strange, playful, slightly unsettling images; a way to balance his rational and irrational thinking. This imagery is a fusion of cartoon, surreal, symbolic and abstract art styles that Jeff has previously explored in his past.
