Being born and raised on a mixed farm has indelibly imprinted Dale with the joy of growing while providing a constant source of inspiration throughout his art career as a Potter and Artist. Educated in fine arts, then a career in commercial art with a recent focus on the Art of Farm Craft reflects his ability to use many mediums beyond painting to express his feelings about the objects and ideas around him. Along with his Farm Craft, his studio is full of paintings of landscapes, sunrises, flowers, and ducks dancing in their duckweed patch. Each creation expresses his feelings of wonderment and enjoyment of growing while appreciating the small moments on the farm that bring him inspiration every day. It is his hope that you will feel the hope and optimism that goes into every piece.
