My great love is my home county of Cornwall, I love to sit and watch people enjoying themselves on the beaches and in the harbour towns of Cornwall.
It's a terrible thing wishing that it can be someone else's tragedy.
My father is a well known artist, Ted Dyer, who has been painting for many years. Our work is very different, but growing up surrounded by paintings, paints, easels and art books does have an effect.
In some parts of the world there is very little tidal movement.
I was told I was talented when I applied to Falmouth School of Art and that I should consider skipping the course and proceeding directly to degree level.
I use about 20 different colours to retain the luminance in my work.
I want to paint big, bright, optimistic pictures of the place I love.
