ABOUT DAGMAR

Dagmar Dahle is an artist, writer and teacher living in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada.  Her work is both research-based and process-driven. Investigations within earth science, natural history, social history, art history, and current environmental issues are interwoven with memory, autobiography and lived experience. Painting and drawing are central to an on-going, process-driven studio practice, with material investigations that explore spontaneous and intuitive ways of working.
