Artist of the Week - Peter Dillon
"Flax Reapers" by Peter Dillon
Our Artist of the Week, this week, has been Peter Dillon. Peter is a prolific painter who has lived in Leeds from his late teens. His artistic career started in the mid 1970s with an interest in scratch building models. During this time, he won a number of awards including the prestigious silver medal at the Royal Engineers' Expo.
During the late 1980s, Peter's interest was taken with computer graphics and animation, but over the last few years, a passion for the more traditional style of painting has emerged. He is currently studying at Leeds College of Art & Design, and at the Swarthmore Centre in Leeds.
Hi Peter
ReplyDeleteI have just purchased "A day at the seaside" to add to my other two painting by you. I am delighted with this latest addition and am amazed by the detail and imagination you put into your work. This picture gives me so much pleasure and I look forward to future works as they are always a surprise. (Peter Dillion)
