<p>In this episode, recorded in May 2020, Thibault talks with artist Christine Lyon about completing her MFA program at the start of the pandemic.</p> <p><strong>About</strong>&nbsp;</p> <p>Christine Lyon (b. Los Angeles, CA, 1992) is a painter, printmaker, and educator residing in East Bay. Working in oil, acrylic, etching, silkscreen, and soft-sculpture, Christine explores representation and methods of figurative art, and her body’s relationship to icons of this tradition in western culture and media. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from Sarah Lawrence College in Liberal Arts with an emphasis on Art, Literature, and Social Sciences. After graduating in 2014, she worked for 4 years as an illustrator and scenic artist for live, televised, and filmed productions. She received her MFA from California College of the Arts in Spring 2020, where she worked closely with tenured faculty as a teaching assistant in the Painting and Printmaking departments. She has enjoyed contributing to community art projects, exhibitions, and private collections in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Yonkers, and New York City and looks forward to continuing and expanding upon such partnerships.
