Dale’s fun, imaginative and creative artwork exploded forth once she broke free from the stifling rule-based profession where she  spent most of her prior career.  Dale now uses digital composite techniques to freely express her imagination often depicting strong, inspirational and powerful women, themes and childhood fantasies.  Simple images, upon reflection, often give way to more powerful messages.  Dale is inspired by the work of Maxfield Parish, the Wizard of Oz and philosophy. She believes all life’s important lessons are beautifully summed up in Frank Baum’s The Wizard of Oz.
