John Marshall Dyke – Painting Demonstration

John Marshall Dyke has been painting since his youth. After high school he entered the Art Institute of Boston but became frustrated with the confines of strict academic training and left after two years to enter the Air Force. He was fortunate to be placed in a position as an illustrator in the service and quickly surmised he had learned skills in art school which had transposed to his current position as an illustrator. He eventually secured a position in the Boston VA Medical Center as a medical illustrator and some of his illustrations were published in medical books. After leaving the service he returned to the Art Institute to complete his studies.
