DALE PRING MacSWEENEY
Dale Pring was born in London where her parents inspired and encouraged
her to appreciate the arts, especially music and painting.
The family moved from North Kensington to Richmond in Surrey when
she was twelve and she was fortunate enough to find a mentor who
taught her at school and also to be able to take weekend classes
at Wimbledon School of Art. She graduated at Wimbledon School of
Art and Waltham Forest (whose teachers were predominantly Royal Academicians).
In 1980 she married consultant psychiatrist/novelist/ poet and
wit, Dr David MacSweeney and had a flourishing career, exhibiting
at major galleries in the UK (especially London) and abroad.
In 1992 she chose to live in California and established a very successful
career with galleries all over the states.
Since 1999 Dale has lived in a magnificent country house estate
in Suffolk and her main preoccupation is working on interior/exteriors
and still lifes.
THE PRINTS
The Prints are reproductions of the paintings Dale did in unique
situations and show that she paints exactly what she sees.
The views overlooking the River Thames were from a studio at the
top of a 1960's tower block at Battersea Bridge, and the Hollywood
series painted in a "ballroom" in Los Angeles. |
