During Dale’s student years the idea, “What stuff ’tis made of, whereof it is born, I am to learn”, (from Shakespeare’s play, The Merchant of Venice), became a manifesto and a quest to learn just that – what stuff tis made of and whereof it is born… Art was the means, not by just the finished piece, but through the creative process, to fulfill the quest.

When still in college and during a silent moment while working on a drawing/painting, a very clear thought came for a new direction… Learn to Meditate. It came from out of nowhere, or perhaps from whereof stuff is born?
As more time elapsed, while searching for the right meditation, Transcendental Meditation was fortunately discovered and has continued to be enjoyed regularly to this day.

With the growing knowledge and experience of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s Vedic Science, a deeper understanding of the quest became a reality. Art was no longer a means to the quest. It now became an expression and appreciation of the journey itself, and of the gift to create; expressing both the knowledge and experience of the development of consciousness.
