Dona Dalton
Dona Dalton considers her work to be "toys as sculpture." Drawing from observation, and an enthusiasm for the narrative potential of Egyptian mythology, she creates works that imply relationship and connection, playfulness and spirituality. A bird at the workplace or a cat in a boat can be the best of companions.
Using poplar, pine, and aspen, Dalton carves wood on a band saw, and uses a rotary carver for smaller figures and details. Like icing on a cake, the colorful layers of acrylic paint, latex enamel, and metallic leaf bring each piece to life.
Dona Dalton received a BFA in sculpture from the Philadelphia College of Art. Her work has been shown at the American Craft Council Show, the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show, and the Washington DC Craft Show, among others. Her work can be found in galleries throughout the USA.
Customer Reviews
Although the piece is cute, it was inadequately packed, and arrived with the "goddess" snapped off, and the tip of her ship broken. It would have been better had it been constructed so that the recipient could insert the goddess's shoe peg into the hole drilled in the ship. In addition, her shoes/feet are nothing like they are shown on the website; instead of two feet in black shoes, there is one, solid club-like foot. I will be returning it for a refund, which saddens me; I've been wanting this piece for quite some time, and waited for the perfect sale.

She caught my imagination for some reason I can't really explain.
Maybe she's cursed, or her passion, to travel with her would be quite ?
I had my eye on this piece for a long time and bought it for my granddaughter's 18th Birthday. She won't receive it until November but I know she will love it. She is very artistic and likes mythology.
I love all of your pieces. I often get online just to look at all of your creations. Thank you so much for this beautiful work of art.
Our daughter is retiring after 21 years as a pilot in the Air Force and is starting out on a new adventure. Perfect symbolism.
My goddess arrived today. Grace, peace, purpose, all captured so perfectly.
