Susan Lyon grew up in Oak Park, Illinois. Her initial interest in art
was sparked by a PBS television show on Georgia O'Keefe, that inspired
her to take weekend art classes. Lyon studied art at the American
Academy of Art in Chicago and was an active participant in Chicago's
Palette and Chisel Club. It is there she first began exhibiting and
selling her work. She entered the Oil Painters of America. Susan draws
inspiration from painters of the Guilded age such as Anders Zorn,
Joaquin Sorolla and John Singer Sargent. She also is passionate about
artists like Philip Malavin from Russia and contemporary masters
Richard Schmid and Nancy Guzik. Lyon's technique is to paint wet on wet
to start and then wet on dry for her finishing touches. "My style is
realistic with as much impressionistic color as possible. I like to
combine wide brushes for sweeping strokes in the background with small,
soft brushes for subtle details in my center of interest. One of my
greatest passions is drawing, I hope to show collectors that works on
paper is a wonderful addition to a serious collection."
Susan lives in a rural area of North Carolina with her husband, artist
Scott Burdick, whom she met at the Palette and Chisel Art Club in
Chicago. She and her husband travel widely "The excitement of
traveling, seeing so many new sights and people, plus incredible works
in museums; combined with the challenge of painting on the spot make me
a travel addict! Even before I go on a trip I'm planning the one after."
Susan works equally in Oil and Pastel/charcoal and Mixed Media.

Scott was born in Chicago, where his mother and father early on
encouraged his interest in Art. "I spent a lot of time in hospitals as
a child and remember my mother showing me how to transform simple
shapes like circles, triangles, and squares into objects like planes,
helicopters, and fish. It seemed such a magical thing and made spending
so much time in casts and on crutches much more bearable."
In high school, Scott began taking life-drawing classes at the American
Academy of Art under the legendary Bill Parks. "Though I'd always loved
drawing, it was Mr. Parks who filled me with the enthusiasm and
discipline necessary to improve my skills. His love of painting and
creative expression infected us all." After finishing the Academy,
Scott continued his study at the Palette and Chisel Art club, where he
met his wife, painter Susan Lyon. "It's a wonderful thing being able to
paint together all the time and grow as artists together," Scott says.
His ideas for paintings come from everywhere. "What makes a subject
attractive to me are the same things that attract us all. The beauty of
a young girl, the character of a weathered face, the solitude of a farm
at sunset, or even the story itself behind someone or something that
makes it interesting." Scott believes it is the job of the artist to
recognize this when it happens, analyze why, and use his technical
skills to convey the feeling to someone else. He notes that some
paintings are as simple as stopping at the sight of something
interesting, while others may take more time to research than to
actually paint.
Today, Scott and Susan live in a rural area of North Carolina..
"I see painting as both a way of exploring the world and then as the
vehicle of sharing those discoveries with others. I travel to find
subjects to paint as much as paint so I can travel and expand my
horizons. Through this unique language, one can say things that are
impossible with words."
