Don Dahlke

Don Dahlke's Caribbean discovery is a long way from his native Oregon.
Born in the 50's, he is the son of a feed and garden merchant. It became
clear early on that Don's call was painting. His formal art training ended
abruptly when an instructor suggested he just go paint! That he did. The
Caribbean and Mexico became the primary destinations and focus of his
work.
Don's early pieces can be classified as whimsical, capturing the spirit of
West Indian life. He also has experimented with abstracts in mixed media,
revealing, perhaps, his more spiritual side. The current architectural series
has been well developed with a program of originals and limited edition
giclees.
His strength lies in the allure of the island ambiance, sun, warmth, and
colors. His trademark is found among the tropical shadows. Among the
details within each image are objects of significance to his life through the
years. The stories of which we can only imagine. Available nationwide,
Don's imagery appeals to those who desire a reminder of their visit to
paradise.

Take pleasure in the temporary escape to a place of tranquility, just sit
back and enjoy.
