Working with Deborah has been an amazing experience! She has challenged me to move from haphazard to authentic definition with an encouraging and effective process. Her presentations and designs display her attention to flow and beauty. It is a pleasure to work with her, and I highly recommend it for any professional artist.

Deborah Lyon is a pleasure to work with!!! She has photographed my sculptures, paintings and me — for several years. She is an excellent and insightful photographer. Deborah Lyon designs my website for me, her decisions and recommendations show me that she understands my aesthetics and the goals of my artwork — she even includes my personality. Her plans, ideas and layouts always feel like a collaborative effort that “fits me” way beyond my expectations. When I see my website, I feel proud of my work -- who could ask for more! I always look forward to updating my website with Deborah because I enjoy working with her and I trust her abilities and talents implicitly.

I had two websites before I found Deborah Lyon. Each had problems, mainly because I’m not just a sculptor; I also create Art Showers, stone furnishings, fountains, stone urns, and most recently, a Japanese-style garden. I seemed unfocused and all over the place. Deborah has a phenomenal ability to focus on the overview. She created a website for me that really expresses what I do – many things, but all with my particular artistic vision. Such a relief! And such a joy to work with her!

Deborah created the website for our gallery, OVA Arts. Not only did she do what was needed, she far exceeded our expectations and constantly is coming up with ideas to make it even better. When you think of a person who gives it their ALL, the phrase is "they gave 110%". By that standard Deborah gives 150% and 100% of the time. She is so creative and collaborative and constantly brainstorming. She is patient and never makes you feel "that your time is up". She is very knowledgeable with the technical aspect and if you come up with an idea that might be new to her it won't be long before she'll figure out how to get it done.
