Roger Dale Artist's
Biography
|
|
Dale
Studios has settled in to Southern
Colorado, just a stone's throw away from the
quiet little town of Ignacio. Here we have created one of our
largest pieces of art, our new glass studio and home. In our 1800 square foot state
of the art glass studio/work shop overlooking our 23 acres and
the La Plata Mountains, life is large and peaceful.
When
life is not so full of change, white water boating along with
other extreme sports feed inspiration into our creative process.
Working for Grand Canyon
Dories and O.A.R.S., as guides in the Grand Canyon on the Colorado River allows us to absorb the strength
and beauty of this natural wonder, which is then transformed into
brilliantly-stated art forms. If you'd like to learn more about
us as guides, check out the O.A.R.S. link page.
Artist’s Statement
Art
is the reflection of one’s personality and life experiences.
My ideas and motivational forces stem from my optimism, love of
life, and my experiences over the last 27 years as a wilderness
guide in the Grand Canyon. I like to work hard
and play harder. I like rock climbing, kayaking and back country skiing,
These sports stimulate
ideas and generate energy which I channel into my glass work.
