Wyn has exhibited his paintings throughout the Bay Area and Southern California including the Marin County Civic Center (Marin County, CA), Root Division (San Francisco, CA), Art Works Downtown (San Rafael, CA) the Smith Andersen North Gallery (San Anselmo, CA) and Oceanside Museum of Art (San Diego, CA). He has also painted numerous public and private murals, as well as scenic art in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Berkeley, San Diego, San Jose, Sacramento, Seattle, and in Cauca, Colombia. Wyn received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a focus on painting from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2017. In 2016 and 2017 he was a recipient of the Ivan Majdrakoff Art Materials Award. Wyn currently lives and works back and fourth between the San Francisco Bay Area and Southern California.
“Growing up in the Bay Area has had a big influence on my work as well as my interests outside of painting, the physical and cultural landscape here has so much to offer and that inspires me on a daily basis. As a kid I developed an interest in graffiti and street art, as well as fine art, both of which have opened up new ways of approaching my work and have expanded my ideas of what art can be. I am always trying to find a balance between working independently and taking on collaborative projects with others. I am primarily focused on painting murals, making work in my studio, and airbrushing custom t-shirts for people. I have always felt that art needs to be accessible beyond the gallery and museum setting, it needs to be available to the public, it needs to be apart of the community.” Wyn Di Stefano, 2024.
