Michael Dillon was born in Ireland in 1957. His interest in painting started in childhood when he drew and painted many of the numerous species of birds to be found near his family home on the East Coast of Ireland. He subsequently farmed in Ireland, New Zealand, England and France before returning to his first love of painting.

He has worked independently since 1989 and is now based in Dorset. He continues to travel widely to undertake commissions, more recently in North America, the West Indies, Africa, France, Spain and Ireland. Most of his work is to be found in private residences but some can be seen in public places such as the Fountain Restaurant and Food Hall at Fortnum & Mason and the restaurant at Hatfield House. He has also worked for the National Trust and a number of country house hotels in Ireland.

Michael Dillon works closely with his clients and has carried out a variety of commissions, both large and small, which include fantasy murals, historical decorations, trompe l'oeil, hoardings, the design and decoration of furniture and luxury packaging. He particularly enjoys figurative painting and combining people, animals, landscape and architecture in "Excursions into Fantasy".

Highlighted work includes; The National Trust and Fortnum and Mason.
