The Art of Skip Dyrda...painter, muralist, illustrator, author
Welcome to the official website of Skip Dyrda!
Based in the vibrant arts community of Sarasota, Florida, I am a visual artist with a passion for creativity and storytelling. Working from two studios, I bring a wide range of artistic visions to life. Known for my Trompe L’oeil murals, I strive to create pieces with depth, history, and a sense of discovery.
My creative work also includes graphic design—branding, books, magazines, and advertisements—as well as photography, where I especially enjoy the craft of post‑production. I’ve even ventured into sculpture, adding another dimension to my artistic journey.
Most recently, I’ve begun writing fantasy stories, opening yet another door in my creative world. This website is your gateway into all of these pursuits. Thank you for visiting, and I hope you enjoy exploring my work as much as I enjoy creating it.
