CAMIE LYONS
Camie Lyons is a Sydney-based artist that works across a variety of mediums including sculpture, painting and drawing. Lyons’ artistic practice is largely inspired by and incorporates her intuition and experience as a contemporary dancer, as she explores the free-flowing possibility of lines, form and movement created by the human body. Lyons studied Fine Arts at RMIT in Melbourne and later completed her Masters at the College of Fine Art (COFA), UNSW in Sydney. She has held several solo exhibitions with Olsen Gallery in Sydney and Scott Livesey in Melbourne, and has showed internationally at Australasian Art Projects and the Australian High Commission in Singapore, as well as The Cat Street Gallery in Hong Kong and now with Gallery HZ in Hong Kong.
Lyons has travelled extensively throughout her life and has been awarded numberous placements as Artist in Residence in Sweden, Bulgaria, Bull Bay (TAS), and Haefligers Cottage in Hill End (NSW) which resulted in her first solo regional museum exhibition at Bathurst Regional Art Gallery in 2019. In 2020 Lyons was gifted a residency at BigCi Interanational Ground for Artists by Sculpture at Scenic World and also received another residency to join a prestigious lineage of creatives at Umbi Gumbi Art Residency. Lyons completed four large scale drawing commissions for Tiffany & Co. which are now on permanent display at their flagship store in Sydney, and recently completed a full body of drawings for the New refurbishment for The Hilton in Sydney. Most recently she was highly awarded in the Live in Art 2020 invitational Art Prize and was a finalist in the Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize. Her work is held in public and private collections in Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sweden, France, London, Thailand and New York.
