I paint what I see, not what a camera would see.

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.

Digital media has destroyed much of the magic and mystery of the medium.

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

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.

I apply paint directly from the tube and with my fingers.

In some parts of the world there is very little tidal movement.
