Although his upbringing as one of five children in a rural area did not provide access to a range of cultural events or art classes, he had an interest in drawing and in creating while at play outdoors as a child. That early interest in nature remains a strong influence in his work to this day. \u201cWhen I was able to go to college and have some professional training,\u201d he says, \u201cit opened up a new world for me and I have been learning ever since.\u201d Careers include work in advertising and display with J. C. Penney and operating his own frame shop. \u201cFor the past 30 years, I have had the privilege to make my way as an artist with the assistance of my wife Wendy,\u201d says McEntire. To further his arts education, he has worked with mentors and studied at Penland School of Craft and in Europe. \u201cThe community, galleries and art organizations in the region have been supportive and have provided me with a sustainable lifestyle over the years,\u201d McEntire says.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_57025\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57025\" class=\"wp-image-57025\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Cover-Artist_-Dale-McEntire-A-Cradle-For-Our-Mother.-Dale-McIntire-artist.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Cover-Artist_-Dale-McEntire-A-Cradle-For-Our-Mother.-Dale-McIntire-artist.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Cover-Artist_-Dale-McEntire-A-Cradle-For-Our-Mother.-Dale-McIntire-artist-249x300.jpg 249w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Cover-Artist_-Dale-McEntire-A-Cradle-For-Our-Mother.-Dale-McIntire-artist-850x1024.jpg 850w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Cover-Artist_-Dale-McEntire-A-Cradle-For-Our-Mother.-Dale-McIntire-artist-768x925.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Cover-Artist_-Dale-McEntire-A-Cradle-For-Our-Mother.-Dale-McIntire-artist-810x976.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Cover-Artist_-Dale-McEntire-A-Cradle-For-Our-Mother.-Dale-McIntire-artist-1140x1374.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-57025\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Cradle For Our Mother. Dale McEntire, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After college he found himself drawn to Impressionism, Post-Impressionism and Fauvism. He was particularly influenced early on by Camille Pissarro and Van Gogh and, later when his own work became more personal and abstract, by Charles Burchfield, Arthur Dove, Will Henry Stevens, Arshile Gorky and Wassily Kandinsky. \u201cAs the years have gone by and after hundreds of paintings, I have developed my own style and refer to it as Nature Symbolism,\u201d McEntire says. \u201cI also began working in 3D and have made sculpture in stone, cast glass and steel, many times combining these materials in my work.\u201d These days, he estimates that three-fourths of his creative time is spent on painting and the remainder on sculpting. \u201cI find they inform one another in many ways,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>He works on location with both oils and pastels. \u201cMany times because I am hiking into places that are not easily accessible with a lot of art supplies, I make pastels on location and then they may become larger oils in the studio,\u201d he says. \u201cOftentimes the work will take more of an abstract journey during this process.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_57029\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57029\" class=\"wp-image-57029\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Cover-Artist_-Dale-McIntire-Emerging.-African-Blackwood-Cast-Glass-and-Limestone.-Dale-McIntire-artist.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Cover-Artist_-Dale-McIntire-Emerging.-African-Blackwood-Cast-Glass-and-Limestone.-Dale-McIntire-artist.png 362w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Cover-Artist_-Dale-McIntire-Emerging.-African-Blackwood-Cast-Glass-and-Limestone.-Dale-McIntire-artist-68x300.png 68w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Cover-Artist_-Dale-McIntire-Emerging.-African-Blackwood-Cast-Glass-and-Limestone.-Dale-McIntire-artist-232x1024.png 232w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Cover-Artist_-Dale-McIntire-Emerging.-African-Blackwood-Cast-Glass-and-Limestone.-Dale-McIntire-artist-348x1536.png 348w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-57029\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Emerging. African Blackwood, Cast Glass and Limestone. Dale McEntire, artist.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Much of his sculptural work is informed by geometry and forms found in nature. At present, he is producing two or three outdoor or indoor sculpture pieces per year. \u201cEarly on, I did larger outdoor projects and currently continue to explore sculpture on a smaller scale,\u201d McEntire says.<\/p>\n<p>He considers art to be\u2014and always to have been\u2014a friend and a teacher to him. \u201cIt has always been there no matter the life circumstances, and is a place of solace,\u201d he says. \u201cAs an artist, you spend a lot of time alone and I think that is where you can learn to question and explore intuition. It allows space to reflect on one\u2019s place in the world.\u201d He recalls a time spent alone camping and painting in New Mexico. \u201cI woke up to a time when nature was as pristine and perfect as anything I could ever imagine,\u201d McEntire says. \u201cI spent the day painting there and will always keep that time in my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His current series addresses climate crises and interconnected relationships. As a student of Buddhism, he sometimes finds material that inspires him to be more philosophical with his work. \u201cThe way Dale\u2019s artwork is informed by his inner spiritual life to reflect his love of the earth\u2019s beauty creates phenomenal results,\u201d says Suzanne Camarata, owner of The Gallery at Flat Rock. \u201cHe has a particular ease with the language of color and symbols, which he uses to express his vision of the multilayered depths of a landscape scene. Viewers are immediately drawn to the fascinating complexity in his paintings and also in his multimedia sculptural pieces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McEntire says that he believes there are various paths to wisdom in life, and art is a way of connecting with nature, with other people and with himself. While open to beauty, nature, creativity and communication with others, however, he remains focused. \u201cI am disciplined with my working schedule,\u201d he says. \u201cI never am bored or lack the desire to be in the making mode. It\u2019s certainly not always the easy thing to do and I have disappointments, but the opportunity is a gift.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Dale McEntire\u2019s Saluda studio is open by appointment.
