The Artist: John Lyons (b.1963) is the creator and artist for Art2Show, a showcase for some of his stunningly creative artworks. John is currently living in Stokesley, on the border of North Yorkshire and Teesside, working as a professional photographer (Cameraclix) though he has been a figurative artist all his life. John sketches with charcoal and paints, mainly in oil or acrylic on canvas and has taken commissions from his early 20's. He worked, exhibited & taught Life Drawing in Oxford during his 30's, where he started his study of the female form. Not knowing how to ask a woman to pose naked for him, he advertised in London's "Time Out" magazine with the phrase "Dare To Bare?" and his phone number. Many ladies of all different shapes, sizes and ages responded and thus he became a "Nude Artist". He still prefers to work with ladies who've never modeled nude before in the knowledge that the application of a bit of "daring bravado" is good for the creative process. John Lyons has worked with a whole variety of ladies ranging in age from timid 19 year old students to several 65+ year old grandmothers wanting to do something daring and brash to remind themselves that they're still alive! John and his previous studio was featured on national TV, as he taught the celebrity presenters to draw and paint from a female nude. More recently, since his move to Stokesley near Teesside in Jan 2011, he has been featured and interviewed with a former client on BBC Radio Tees discussing creativity around client nudity.

Only once...when a model for a class I was teaching failed to arrive! When it became apparent she wasn't coming I decided I could hardly feel prudish about my own body, when I've spent a lifetime looking at the nude bodies of others'...thus I just stripped off and got on with it! Being 6'6" and of slender build, I was apparently quite a challenging model for my colleagues and students.
