Our next stop in Silverton was to stop in and chat with artist John Dynon, or Dyno to his mates. John’s studio in a corrugated shed, brightly coloured with many unusual pieces adorning the walls. He is also known as the emu man, painting emus as part of his works.
In 1985 he became a full time artist to meet the demand that had grown for his paintings.
John paints the Outback, its flowers, its unique colours and some of its more interesting features. https://www.store.johndynon.com.au/
