Press Release

Norma Lyon's figurative works are enigmatic and engaging, inviting the viewer to ponder. Look at a sculpture and the piece often looks back. Laugh at the piece and it laughs right along with you. Hold the piece and it embraces you. Lyon's voluptuous burnished forms of fish and gourd-like shapes emit a soft, inviting glow. The pieces are smoked to give nuances to the lovely colors of the clay. Her techniques of construction range from hand-building and using plaster
molds, to wheel throwing.

The gallery is located at 1018 Main Street on the corner of Middlefield and Main Street in Redwood City. It occupies a yellow Victorian cottage built in 1857 in a beautiful garden setting next to the public library and across from the new Redwood City Plaza and City Hall.
