"The evolution of any artist is a long and varied path of creative experimentation and exploration, the inspiration being life's experiences and dreams."
Steve Dyer is an Artist, Teacher and Designer currently living and working in Kardinya Perth WA.
Born in the North West of England, his artistic talents were first recognized at thirteen when he won a scholarship to Bolton College of Art and Design.
His working career has included Painting, Interior Design, Murals, Art Glass in addition to teaching others to reach their full artistic aspirations.
Steve paints in many mediums including water colour, acrylic and oil, but his inspiration comes from the abstract and bizarre and the relationships between the natural world, the human body and the creative brain.
Before immigrating to Perth in 1998 with his wife and two children, his paintings were shown in many exhibitions in the UK and bought by collectors and admirers alike.
He has won several awards in Perth including the Melville Art Awards and the South Perth Art Awards.
Currently he is devoting more time to his particular passion of Surrealism and is a co-founder of The Contemporary Australian Surrealist's Movement, a group devoted to surrealistic and fantasy painting and sculpture.
