Jilly Marie Dyson brings a lovely blend of subtle French Impressionism to all her works, reflecting her European travels and interests. Her works evokes memories of Monet, Van Gogh, Camille Pissarro and even Eugene Boudin.

Dyson grew up on a farm on New Zealand’s Bay of Islands, riding horses over grassy landscapes as a young girl. Her longing to capture such splendor on canvas began with these early experiences. Following that dream, she traveled to Florence and spent years in Italy. There her undying passion for impressionism was born. Capturing the glory of Tuscan villages and the character of derelicts on the streets of Florence marked the beginning of her lifelong journey as a painter.
