Dixon grew up on the Connecticut shoreline developing interests in the rich history and beauty of Long Island sound and the Southern Connecticut river valley; a favorite subject for the impressionistic painters of the Old Lyme artist colony. Artists such as Childe Hassam and Willard Metcalf and others of that time period provided Dixon with a variety of visual interpretations of a landscape familiar to himself. In 2003 and 2004 Dixon studied with plein air artists George Strickland, John Budicin, and Matt Smith and other instructors from the Plein Air Painters of America in two consecutive workshops hosted by the Lyme Art Association.
