About the Artist
Artist Statement
"The simplicity of the triangle, circle, square and line combine in infinite variation on the transparent glass plane to create a third dimension. I take this concept a step further by turning the horizontal plane into a three dimensional object in combination with other materials.”

Biography
Dale Eggert started college with the intent of studying art but changed his major to business and graduated with a degree in Marketing. After a decade long career in Retail Management, his love of art and drive to create led him to leave the corporate world and join his wife Kathleen in producing a line of enameled glass tableware. It wasn't long before the purchase of sandblasting equipment for the studio gave Dale the impetus to express his own talent and creativity.
Dale's earliest experiments in this new medium already defined his personal style, with influences from technology, architecture, tribal art and science fiction, yet were uniquely his own. The addition of metallic paints and metal foils adds an extra depth and dimension to the designs. Every piece is a one-of-a-kind combination of shapes, lines and color.
