St. John Vianney Balboa Catholic Church Painting

Philip Ryder Dunn once received a history degree from the University of California, Berkeley. Then he completed a master’s in journalism from the University of Southern California. He had a career as a journalist, marketing consultant, non-fiction author, and college media professor. Dunn paints impressions of the ocean and various scenes of wonder. He combines photography and wandering to examine what’s right in front of his nose. He also paints juxtapositions of local nature themes with dreamscapes. Dunn writes poetry almost every day. For recreation, he plays ice hockey and pickleball, and surfs almost every day. He has three delightful children.
