Kay Lyon

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge local Lugarno resident, Kay Lyon, who has presented an outstanding art exhibition at NSW Parliament House. The presentation is entitled "The Effect on a Butterfly" and it showcases the natural beauty and unique make-up of the Georges River. It is a metaphoric example of the fragility of our natural environment as she utilises her artistic brilliance to capture the history of the region. Kay has lived in the region her whole life and she is a proud resident of Lugarno which sits perfectly along the Georges River. She is a true advocate for preserving the beauty of our region. Using her camera, pen and paper, she has spent the last few years recording images throughout our local community capturing wildlife, mangroves and magnificent reflections of the water. Kay is a very well-known and magnificent artist with pieces in the Hazelhurst Regional Gallery, Beatty Gallery and Kudos Gallery. Her pieces have also found their home in a number of private exhibitions across Australia and the United Kingdom. Well done again on this fantastic achievement.
