Atlanta portrait artist Jenny Lyon creates classical fine art paintings and drawings. She specializes in oil portraits of children.
Each human face is a miracle, an incarnation.
Each child is a gift, fearfully and wonderfully made.
Each pet is a best friend, a beloved companion.
Through my portraits I try to echo a sense of the soul before me, of his or her innate dignity, grace, beauty.
Each work strives to fix the evanescent moment in the timelessness of memory.
