Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty’s Kingston Office is proud to present the art of Mari Lyons in an exhibition titled “From the Garden” running from October 31, 2020 – January 30, 2021 as part of our "Gallery At Work" series.

Mari painted from her home in Woodstock looking out to a hillside on one side and her gardens on the other. Her love of flowers and her unique collection of vases and sculptural objects always inspired Mari to create her bold and colorful paintings. The flowers span three seasons and the color wheel in striking strokes of oil paint. Mari’s beloved carved wooden rooster is featured in two works with floral accompaniment. Mari was a painter’s painter, with her work deeply rooted in the practice of drawing. Drawing from the figure on a regular basis, her fluid strokes integrate space and form throughout her work. Mari painted daily, she was a highly prolific artist.

Mari had four children and was the devoted wife of Nick Lyons, writer and editor. She died in 2016, leaving a large number of paintings and drawings. She sold paintings regularly throughout her life but left a substantial body of work, all of which is currently stored in a Kingston studio. Studio visits are welcome. A large number of her works can be seen on her website.

Mari holds degrees from Bard College and Cranbrook Academy of Art; she studied with Max Beckmann, Fletcher Martin, Louis Schanker, and Gabor Peterdi. Her work is in over 160 private collections and in the public collections of Climate Central Foundation, The Museum of the City of New York, Montana State University Library, Rider University, the DeGolyer Library (SMU), The New York State Museum (Albany), Bard College, Russell Sage College, Borough of Manhattan Community College, Mills College, Reynolds Community College, Montana Museum of Art & Culture. She had more than twenty one-person shows and was represented by First Street Gallery in New York City.
