About
Hello! Thanks for stopping by! My name is Dylan Arant. My academic focus has been in the areas of Theology, Philosophy, and Christian Art History. I want to be a professor and published author for these subjects, giving back to the worlds of education and academics that helped form me to who I am. When not studying these topics, I work as an apprentice luthier. In my free time, I enjoy reading Classic literature, painting, poetry, and watching indie films (My current favorite is 'La Chimera' by Alice Rohrwacher).
