Beau Lyday was born in Athens, Georgia in 1955. He has been sculpting in metal and wood since 2009.
His major influences are Gothic and mid-eastern architecture, Celtic symbols, and sacred geometry.
After forty years in the furniture business, he left to pursue his art. Beau believes that being an artist is something that one is born to do and does not necessarily require a formal art degree. He went on to study through practical experience, learning through trial and error, and self-learning, studying ancient places and objects as his teachers.
It was here that Beau further expanded on his knowledge in working with carved wood cores plated in aged tin roofing, where he was recently awarded best in show at the North Charleston Sculpture Exhibition.
Beau currently lives and works in Valdese, NC.
