DLVA

St. Maarten/Florida/New York

Dale started her journey as an artist early on in her life. As a young girl in the 1960s, she could often be found painting and sewing in North Miami Beach. From growing up going to Islamorada in the summertime and raising her two children with her husband in St. Maarten, Dale is inspired by the ocean and Caribbean culture. Dale has worked with a variety of materials, including oil paint, acrylic, water color, pastels, etc. Recently, her work has been influenced by the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York. While Dale has spent her life creating, she also had a separate professional career as a dental hygienist, and for the last 20 years has been a practicing yogi. Dale's mantra is enjoy the journey and this vibrates out of her spirit, thus her art.
