Artist Biography
I was born and raised here in sunny San Diego and as a child we spent many summer vacations at our Grandparent’s beach house on the Sea of Cortez. It was there that I fell in love with the ocean, it’s beautiful ever changing colors, the sea life below and the peace I find in it. My grandfather was a woodworker and my grandmother was an artist, I feel that the pieces I create bring out the best of both art forms.
For 22 years I had a small bookkeeping business and also ran my husband’s wood flooring office, which allowed me to be a stay at home Mom to our 2 children. In August of 2021, I was working as a Payroll Director, when my husband showed me a video on creating Ocean Resin Art and I instantly fell in love with the process. The blending and creating of colors and waves on a beautiful piece of wood, just fills my soul! My favorite wood to work with is Mediterranean Olive Wood.
On any given day, you will find me in our Workshop, Studio or at a local Art & Craft Fair. Please visit our website at www.RisingDale.com or our Instagram @Rising_Dale_Woodworks
