Dylan McKnight

APR 12, 2025 | 2-4PM

Dylan McKnight is a New England-based artist recognized for his impressionistic paintings that vividly capture the essence of the region’s landscape and its people. An alumnus of the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts with a BFA, McKnight’s artistic journey has encompassed drawing, oil painting, printmaking, and sculpture.

After a hiatus to raise a family and pursue a career in technology, McKnight recently returned to painting with a renewed perspective, enriched by life’s experiences. Currently focusing on watercolor, he masterfully harnesses the medium’s spontaneity to create a dynamic interplay of pigments, revealing their unique character on paper. His work is characterized by elegant brushwork, exquisite drawing skills, and the ability to capture light and shadow with a limited palette, encapsulating the essence of his subject.

McKnight’s paintings have garnered national attention, with notable exhibitions at the International Watermedia Exhibition, the American Impressionist Society, Cape Ann Plein Air, the American Watercolor Society, the Guild of Boston Artists, the New England Watercolor Society, and the Green Mountain Watercolor Exhibition. In 2025, he took on the role of Vice President of the New England Watercolor Society.
