“I want to paint big, bright, optimistic pictures of the place I love.” — John Dyer Quote

I want to paint big, bright, optimistic pictures of the place I love.

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.

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.

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.

I realised that if I did what I wanted to do, it would work.

With the right help, children have a good chance of overcoming their issues while they are still young and can have the bright future they deserve.

I hear it all the time, people always on my back about quitting or not doing stuff. Then first time in the Superdome, lights are real bright, whenever I got a chance, I made a play.

I make big objects that are simple, bright and clear, kind of ironic but hopefully funny because I love the shapes, and I get inspiration from toys and books, and I believe in art for everyone.

The college that takes students with modest entering abilities and improves their abilities substantially contributes more than the school that takes very bright students and helps them develop only modestly.
