Dylan Waldron was born in Newcastle-Under-Lyne in 1953, son of the Welsh sculptor Jack Llewellyn Waldron (1923-1984). He was educated at Stourbridge College of Art and Wolverhampton, graduating with a B.A. Honours in Art in 1976.

Since that time, Waldron has worked as a professional artist, showing and selling his work through various galleries and art fairs internationally. Since 1983, he has exhibited regularly in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and to date has had 22 paintings shown.

Waldron work has been purchased for many private collections worldwide also the public collections of the West Midlands Art Association and Basildon Art Trust.

Waldron's painting style has its roots in traditional techniques, with each piece of work having between twenty and thirty layers of translucent colour glazes, building up to achieve depth and tone and luminosity with finely worked and highly detailed finish.  Fast drying media such as acrylic or egg tempera is normally used and the support is usually archival quality paper, board or prepared panel.  Waldron constructs and hand finished the framed for each individual painting, which he sees as integral to the overall presentation of the work.

The subjects depicted are personal and carefully chosen, whether this is material for a still life, a domestic interior, a much-loved landscape or a portrait/nude study.
