Lance Lyons was born in San Diego, CA in 1960. At the age of three he was introduced into his family's acrobatic comedy variety act. He and his family performed in shows in the United States and Europe. They performed in theatres, arenas, and state fairs and television shows such as "Hollywood Palace".
At the age of fourteen while still in school Lance went to work for his family's taxidermy studio, the renowned Lyons and O'Haver in San Diego, Ca. This is when Lance began his career with the wild creatures of the world. For Lance, the freedom, power and romance of the outdoors are a vital part of his creative process. The authentic and often romantic nature of his realism are what continues to drive him to capture those rare and precious moments in wood that will guarantee his work to be remembered forever.
