Dale Turner was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Her lifelong interest in art has evolved into her favorite mediums watercolour and acrylic. While her subject matter and techniques are diverse, her style is always identifiable. Dale's strong use of limited colour palettes is a signature aspect of her work, whether it be a neutrally-toned abstract with metallics or one of her striking poppy series.

Winnipeg Icons acrylic 20"x 40" |
Dale has produced abstract pieces with powerful themes
referencing the power that music has in our lives. Her "Winnipeg
Icons" pieces are strikingly modern and bring to life Winnipeg's Canadian
Museum for Human Rights and the Esplanade Riel, with the backdrop of the often
overlooked urban beauty of Winnipeg's downtown. Her sophisticated use of colour
gives these more representational works a strongly contemporary power. Painting
allows Dale to create and express her own beliefs and values for others to both
enjoy and interpret according to their own individual tastes and understanding.
