Dustin Lyon invites all to step back into a time when life was more genteel. A quiet walk through the town square, a short trolley ride home, a grand landscape or the quiet solitude of a Native American encampment are just a few of the excursions this artist will take you on. As a native of Idaho, Lyon's early life was filled with wildlife, horses, and a land rich in history. These familiar subjects are often painted against a backdrop from a specific locale encountered in his travels throughout the United States. Recognizable landmarks and monuments create compositional effects in his city views as well, lending an attitude of familiarity for the viewer with each painting.

Lyon received a degree in Art Advertising & Design from Ricks College and furthered his education at Boise State University. He developed his professional career as a commercial artist through 1978, while coming home to work on his art well into the night. In 1978 he began to paint full time and has been a professional fine artist since that time. He lists numerous awards and shows to his credit and his work hangs in many private and public collections.

Dustin Lyon relocated to Arizona in 1996 to continue his artistic endeavors. In 1999, he completed two major historical murals for a hotel in Scott's Valley, California. Dustin opened -D.LYON-ART Gallery in January of 2005 where he painted and proudly showcased the work of other talented, well established artists. Dustin closed the gallery in April 30, 2011. Together with his wife Jessie he will be serving a mission for their church in Ghana Africa from September 2011 to April of 2013.
