| "Exploring a variety of subject matters, Dale Sheldon is a painter who works dynamically with a sense of immediacy and luminous color." A native of southern New Jersey, Ms. Sheldon studied at Philadelphia's Moore College of Art, and graduated cum laude from the University of Maryland. An award winning artist, she is a studio painter, collecting images and impressions from around the world. Working in a variety of mediums, Dale enjoys the immediacy of silkscreen monoprints with vibrant colors and collage materials, and combines her love of photography with both serigraphy and Polaroid transfer methods. Exploring light and atmosphere, and color relationships, her paintings in watercolor interpret and express moods, memories or impressions. Her style of painting reflects both wet-on-wet and layering techniques with rich color washes. She is a member of Maryland's Potomac Valley Watercolorists, a founding member of the Delaware Watercolor Society, and a signature member of Baltimore Watercolor Society. Recent exhibitions include a solo show at Coastal Frameshop and Gallery in Rehoboth Beach, DE, CAMP Rehoboth's "HeART of the Community" art auction, "Art for Life, Hope for our Children" at Washington DC's Museum of the Americas and the World Health Organization, the Cultural Center of the Embassy of Egypt, Baltimore Watercolor Society Mid Atlantic Regional Show at Strathmore Hall in Rockville, MD, and various venues in St. Petersburg Beach, FL. She was a participating artist in Rehoboth Beach’s “Dolphins: the SEAquel”, a Rehoboth Beach Main Street/Rehoboth Art League 2005 installation project. Dale’s paintings are part of an international exhibition currently being shown in Cairo, Egypt. |
