Paul Dykman is an artist with a vast subject range. He can best be described as a classically trained artist with the talent and ability to capture feeling. Paul was raised in a family of professional artists. In keeping with the Dykman tradition, Paul was encouraged to draw and paint from an early age. He was instructed in art technique from his father and grandfather. Paul also credits outstanding instruction from workshops in South Africa.

Paul has exhibited and sold paintings his entire life. He sold his first painting at a joint exhibition with his father at the Royal Agriculture Show in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa at the age of thirteen. This was the first of many joint exhibitions at which he sold paintings regularly. Paul later went on to be represented by numerous galleries in South Africa. In 1995 Paul and his family moved the USA to further his artistic exposure.
