About

I’m Gill Lyon, a self-taught Scottish artist living in Edinburgh. 

What began as play - painting wooden garden games for my wedding - turned into devotion, and I have spent the last three years pouring myself into full time painting.

I paint to share moments of joy and deep connection—glimpses of wonder that expand the heart.

Inspired by childhood summers in the Scottish wilderness, where my cousins and I played beneath the stars, amongst ancient ruins, their ghosts and the wild creatures that ran beside us just out of sight. I have a lifelong fascination with the natural world, the unseen and the unknown. 

To help me develop my skills and realise my artistic visions, I joined the Milan Art Institute Mastery Programme on September 13th.

If you like my work, I invite you to follow me online where you can share in my progress. If you would like to support my work, I'll be releasing selected pieces for sale throughout the course. 

For 2025 events, the best place to keep up to date with everything is on Instagram @gill_lyon_art . 

I will be creating an email list later this year. You can contact me directly with any enquiries at [email protected] 

You can find a small selection of my work year round here, at gilllyonearrings.etsy.com and in The Leith Collective, Ocean Terminal, Edinburgh. 

I sell in person at various events in Scotland between June - September and November- December. 

Thanks for stopping by!
