Lyra is a visual artist, working from her Derby studio. She is at her happiest when in the studio, exploring the canvas and seeing where her art takes her.

Lyra aims to create atmosphere rather than realism in her work. She uses a unique non-brush technique to apply the paint, resulting in a variety of textures and relief. Her work is incredibly calming. Lyra’s use of strong colour is one of the first things you notice and the fact that she limits her pallet to a few core colours intensifies the experience. The combination of deep calm and intensity that Lyra’s work evokes makes for a powerful and moving collection.
