About the Artist
Dillon Sprague is the creator of 57˚ North Arts and lives in Sitka, Alaska with his partner Alicia and their two troublesome cats. Having moved from Colorado in 2022 to “beat the heat,” he and Alicia made their way north by car and by boat to the island in Southeast Alaska where the town of Sitka lies between the mountains and the ocean on the 57th parallel. Sitka’s indigenous name is Sheet’ka and is the traditional homeland of the Lingít peoples.
Finding a new place to call home and begin anew (and learning how difficult the life of a fishing boat deckhand could be) Dillon decided to lean into his artistic roots and create original works of art inspired by the natural beauty of the land and seas. Working with ink, paint, and candle soot (yes you read that correctly, candle soot.)
Dillon’s artwork can be found displayed at the Island Artists Gallery in downtown Sitka.
