I want them to say:

'he feels deeply, he feels tenderly."

Biography

George Dinan was born in the British Crown Colony of Bermuda, in 1964. As a toddler he
and his family immigrated to United States. While growing up in Puget Sound area of
Olympia, Washington, George had developed a deep love of nature and his surrounding
environment. This love of nature and family is often a reoccurring theme throughout many of
George's paintings.

George graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Western Washington University in
Bellingham, Washington. His development as an artist has evolved through intensive
experimentation and diligent work with many different mediums. George is currently
immersing most of his efforts in oil paint. Although he is working on a two dimensional
surface, in his mind, he is sculpting three dimensionally. This unusual concept helps him
readily achieve his goal of sharing his own personal views and interpretations of subjects that
are not typically represented in art.

George has shown his work throughout the U.S. and Canada at many fine art shows and
galleries, and had also maintained his own gallery, Larson~Dinan Gallery, in Troutdale,
Oregon for four years, 1998-2002. George's reputation as an exceptional and exciting artist
to watch has kept on growing through this time period as well.

George currently resides in Vancouver, Washington, and his art studio is actually located in
SE section of Portland, Oregon. George's future endeavors will include traveling and
embarking into the world of portraiture, figurative, sculpture and developing a new form of
fresco painting which he calls: Fresco Nouveau. The future possibilities for George and his
art are forever exciting and endless!
