Dylan began sketching at the age of two; by ten he began a waiting list for commissioned original pieces. Dylan with the assistance of his mom began publishing his work at the age of eleven. Now at twenty he is well on his way to becoming a legend in the world of wildlife art. His exquisite detail and realistic depiction of wildlife truly reflects a passion for both watercolors and the animals he chooses to paint. Before the age of seventeen his inspiration came primarily from wildlife sanctuaries, zoos and parks all across the country. Dylan embarked on his first African safari in the fall of 2003. During this 27-day experience he studied in detail and photographed the animals in their natural habitat. Dylan returned soon after for another five and a half week long excursion to Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and South Africa. Dylan’s paintings begin with
diligent and exhaustingly patient photography. He has received local and nationwide media attention. His work has been featured on QVC (April 2003- April 2004), profiled on National Geographic Today, Wildlife Art Magazine (May / June 2003), Teen People Magazine (April 2005), and many more. December of 2004 kicked off Dylan’s partnership with Busch Gardens and SeaWorld. Dylan is the “Premier Partner” for the conservation fund. Busch Gardens and SeaWorld parks will sell Dylan’s art work along with products featuring his image’s, 15% of the sells will go to research and conservation.
