Art as a Journey of Recovery &
Self-Expression
Discover the autobiographical works of Peter Lyons
About Me
My work is autobiographical and forms the bedrock of my recovery from alcoholism. For ten years I was a member of a therapeutic community during which time I completed a BA and MA at the University of the West of England.
From Film to Painting
During my time at UWE, I was steered away from painting and made films. Since leaving, I have found that I can connect with my roots better through the medium of painting. Painting makes me feel grounded and allows me to express myself in non-verbal language.
Upcoming Solo Show - The Eye of the Beholder
From 10am to 4pm on the 22nd of October to 30th of October. Located at Totterdown Emporium, 109 Wells Road.
Collaborative Works
Since leaving UWE, I have worked in a curatorial role with a group of artists. Together, we have put on seven or eight shows around Bristol. As a group, we provide mutual support, feedback, and suggestions for development.
