Artist Biography:
My earliest memories of working with paper mâché take me back a 3rd grade art class in a public school. Years later, the same art teacher who encouraged my creativity in grade school, became the head of the art department in our high school. Following graduation, seven of us travelled with her to study art history in Rome, Florence, and Paris for the summer. In 2014, I incorporated paper mâché along with other mixed-media, to create a series of figures titled: Angels of the Shadow Children. The work was inspired, in part, by the work of (the late 5/15/2020) Russian artist Roman Shustrov.
Daryle has been designing whimsical folk art for over three decades. He considers himself a self-taught artist in the folk art genre, though he studied classical art history in Europe and majored in art education while working on his undergraduate degree at the University of Wisconsin.
He likes to think of his work as a reflection of his spiritual journey and appreciation for the timeless beauty, perennial appeal and whimsical simplicity of folk art. He and his wife have made their home in South Jersey for the past sixteen years.
