It begins with the intention. Lacyann Lyons believes that wellness, fitness, joy and health is the foundation of her creativity. Having a healthy mind, body and spirit opens up the channels of imagination, wonder, and dreams. Being grateful and joyful keeps that creativity expansive.

"My mind and body is the foundation of creation both on canvas and in life. I want to thrive, not just exist. I want to have joy and strength portrayed in my art" - Lacyann Lyons

Being healthy in the body, mind, soul, and emotionally is the foundation of this artist. Before each work of art is made, there is intention, mindfulness and a meaning behind each painting, carving or creation. Lacyann obtains this through breath work, meditation, observation, and stillness. 

 

As an artist, she has learned several different disciplines, from traditional woodworking, Sogetsu Ikebana to contemporary painting. She has studied with teachers from around the world including Tom Pohaku Stone, Carol Sakata, Keoni Turalde, Manny Mattos III and more. Inspired by her own grandfather Ken Sakamoto, and her genealogy of award winning lei makers, Lacy combines her love of nature with modern expression. She utilizes her dedication to wellness and fitness as the foundation of all her creative expressions.

Her personal life mission in life is to bring awareness to the plight of the Native Hawaiian people through access to health, wellness, fitness, and art. Closing the gap of disparity, and changing the narrative around Native Hawaiian health standards.
