He works in bronze and other media, but prefers wood, especially the wood of the Monkeypod Tree, also called the Rain Shower Tree, which is widely found on Maui. The new work is one of a series depicting Hawaiian legends concerning mermaids and mermen. Dale done numerous works on commission for resorts, museums and wealthy collectors. He has had two commissions from the Vatican, and recently presented a statue of Sister Marianne to Pope Francis. http://www.dalezarrella.com/ " I Love the Wood It speaks to me with Silence And in its Depth It understands me. In its Wisdom It connects me To a Source deep within Through its Mystery It speaks to me, Sharing my Thoughts. In our Journey, It guides me With Vision to see. In its timeless Beauty It inspires me with Joy to set it free" DZ Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
