Camie Lyons

b. 1968

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 in space.

Lyons has travelled extensively throughout her life and has been awarded numerous 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 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. Lyons has created public sculpture for Waverley Council, City of Sydney Council, Stonnington Council, Hoi Ha Wan Marine Reserve, Hong Kong and Slottskogen Gardens, Gothenburg, Sweden.

She has held several solo exhibitions 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. Lyons was awarded first prize at Sculpture at Scenic World and the Mount Eyre Art Prize and received the Highly Commended awards for the Wollongong Sculpture Prize, The Hawksbury Art Prize and the Live in Art Prize by the Zorbos Group.
