## Full Bio

Randy Dillon is a Texas-based contemporary artist working across painting, drawing, digital media,
and fine-art printmaking. His portrait work favors psychological presence over polished likeness,
using compressed color, visible gesture, and deliberate distortion to make the emotional temperature
of a face or figure immediately felt. His landscapes approach place with the same intensity: shore,
mountain, water, sky, and weather are rebuilt through energetic rhythm and saturated color.

Dillon served six years in the United States Marine Corps and is a combat veteran of Operations
Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. After completing his military service, he earned a Bachelor of
Science from the University of North Texas.

His work has appeared in the “Go Figure!” exhibition at THE ARTS Gallery and in “The Whole Show” at
Kettle Art in Dallas. His work and practice have also been featured by Plano Profile, in an artist
interview by Liana Metal, and by Brookston Beer Bulletin's Beer in Art series.

The artist maintains an extensive online studio archive at https://randydillon.com/.
