During the winter when the weather is too poor to work outside, I do use drawings and photographs, but I change my work so it is not just a time and place study. John Dyer
I decided to become a painter when my first four paintings where all published and attracted a great deal of interest. I exhibited one of them and it was sold. John Dyer
I have been surrounded by artists and paintings throughout my life. My father Ted Dyer is an artist, and from a very early age I have spent time painting and drawing. John Dyer
I have lived in Cornwall from the age of 4, so I have always been aware of the artistic heritage that the county has. I feel very proud to be able to connect to this. John Dyer
I love the sea's sounds and the way it reflects the sky. The colours that shimmer across its surface are unbelievable. This, combined with the colour of the water over white sand, surprises me every time. John Dyer
I still take photographs for my own use, personal studies. I do not feel that I can fully express my views through the medium and this is why I have moved towards painting. John Dyer
I studied for my degree in London and consequently ended up spending five years away from Cornwall. I deliberately moved away from the coast to experience a different way of life. John Dyer
I use a wide selection of colours. It is impossible to produce work like mine using only the primary colours as they only mix a certain range of colour. John Dyer
I was told I was talented when I applied to Falmouth School of Art and that I should consider skipping the course and proceeding directly to degree level. John Dyer
