Dale Payson

Artist Biography

Dale Payson a long-time New Yorker, attended the School of Visual Arts over a ten-year span in the 1960s. She returned as an instructor in the early 1980s before moving on to freelance work in display design and book illustration. Her work is found in more than twenty-five children's books.

Payson's still life paintings literally explode off the canvas. By subtly flattening the perspective, she brings the background forward to create a powerful statement. Her use of color is unbridled, bold and refreshing.
