The artist was born in 1971 in Rugby. His family's first move was to Coventry but after things took a more dramatic turn, and they set off for Australia. Stratford-upon-Avon was next, then back to Australia, then back to Stratford. They also moved several more times in each of these places. If travel broadens the mind, then by the time he left school, Dylan was as broad minded as they come and ready for anything!
He started his career by working as a street artist which took him off around the world following the summer season. He would draw detailed pen and ink pictures of famous buildings and portraits, and as a self-taught artist he developed a highly personal style. During this time he also painted in other mediums and styles but purely for his own pleasure, never realising that his work may be a means to make a living.
After nine years he returned to England and decided to open an art gallery of his own. Limited funds forced him to be original, and he came up with the novel idea of using a traditional narrow boat as a venue. After a year of planning his gallery was finally opened; he decided the time had come to show the whole range of his work and the reaction was overwhelming.
He then worked very hard to create a New collection to 'trade' sell through other galleries, giving him greater exposure and a rapid increase in demand for his artwork. Dylan's high impact paintings on brushed aluminium are now sold and collected across the world and he was invited to be one of the BT’s official Olympic Artists for London 2012, amongst many other accolades.
