John Dyer, one of Cornwall’s most celebrated contemporary artists, has forged an extraordinary painting career spanning over three decades. Renowned for his vibrant, celebratory works that capture the essence of Cornwall’s landscapes and seascapes, he’s pictured here before the iconic St Michael’s Mount, beside his faithful 2001 Dormobile Land Rover 110 County Station Wagon. This 12-seat, 4-berth classic serves as his mobile studio, camper van, and art transport. His paintings, cherished in international private collections and showcased in the UK’s public art collection, reflect his widely acclaimed talent. With prestigious residencies at the Eden Project, Tall Ships Regattas, and leading environmental organisations worldwide, John Dyer’s legacy as an artist—rooted in heritage and nature—resonates deeply with the spirit of the Fowey Royal Regatta and Fowey Classic Car Parade. His depictions of Cornwall’s maritime heritage make him a natural fit for the regatta, while his appreciation for classic vehicles aligns perfectly with the car parade.
