Matthew Lyon

As an artist, I’ve painted with pigment and light, but these days I’m painting with sound. Some of my photographs are currently posted on 500px, though I intend to create a better gallery here soon. My first full-length musical work, Lies in Reach was released September 4, 2024 on Triplicate Records.

As a technologist, I connect decision- and meaning-making to data through design. My work has helped experts save time, money, and lives. I provide fractional consulting services.


My site is undergoing a bit of renovation right now. Some pages are not available at the moment, but should be back soon.
