painter and professional photographer, exhibited three oil portraits and a chalk drawing, Ancient Britons Defending their Families against the Romans , at the 1856 Victorian Exhibition of Art, being listed as a practising artist of 96 Russell Street, Melbourne. He showed two portraits and The Young Waltonians with the Victorian Society of Fine Arts in 1857 from Little Collins Street. In 1860 a portrait and Christ and the Woman of Samaria were sent from Clifton Street, Richmond (Vic.). All were oils, the last being described as 'stiff, inexpressive, and unskilfully overlaboured’.
Wyatt’s frequent moves may have been as much due to the fact that he also worked as a travelling photographer as to the quality of his paintings. He was at Mount Gambier, South Australia in 1864, at Portland and Warrnambool in Victoria at other times.
