The artistic possibilities of metal, that luminous backbone of modern civilization, have always intrigued me.
I strive to create pieces abstracting natural forms, motions, or social interactions.
Dale grew up by the ocean and developed a love for light on water. He studied mathematics, but hoped to also pursue metal sculpture
and took classes in industrial welding and aluminum casting as an undergraduate at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. But the sculpture plans
remained perpetually sidetracked.
In 2007 Dale finally managed to start sculpting, beginning by auditing a class at the University of Washington, where he is a professor of
Atmospheric Sciences. He owes a great deal to Professor Amie McNeel at UW and to many instructors at the Pratt Fine Art Center in Seattle
who have taught him a tremendous amount about sculpture.
