Dale Witherow is a former art professor and seminar leader based out of the Pennsylvania area. He has exhibited in the Mid-Atlantic region, Texas, New Mexico and Mexico. After retirement, he relocated to the Pacific Northwest and exhibits on the West Coast. In the last several years, his work has undergone extensive transformations situated loosely around the landscape. He has since forayed through a variety of styles, media and subjects and has delved into very personal abstractions. These works display his love for color, design, and hidden symbolism. He has resurrected and restructured elements of his past and the subsequent imagery of memory and used these motifs as a basis of his new work.

Dale Witherow paints as if he is an explorer – lost and looking for signs of the next trail to follow towards new discoveries. His favorite word is apophenia, which means the spontaneous perception of connections and meaningfulness of unrelated phenomena. This is as it should be, since this describes Dale’s process of painting and the variety of his work. He thrives on connecting the perceptions that occur in the continuing dialogue while painting; it is his way of making the inner invisible world visible.
