"My optimism for life carried through my work."

Life

"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."

Age

"And he that will this health deny, down among the dead men let him lie."

Health

"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."

Experience

"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."

Age

"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."

Work

"Painting is really good fun, I have always enjoyed it. As long as I paint what I want with the freedom that I enjoy, I never tire."

Freedom

"I have improved the way in which I paint. The colours are cleaner and there is more energy in the brush work."

Work

"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."

Change

"On my return to Cornwall I discovered that I was living in a tropical paradise. For now I am content to explore my own home and our nearest neighbour France."
