"I have a strong attachment to the old toys and objects I had as a child, and it comes out now in my love of animals and mythology."

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.

Just right for our living room

We live in the PNW and our home has some lodge-like features -- wood beams, stone pillars, etc. This piece is a perfect complement to the architecture and other artwork we have which largely features nature.

Delightful in person

This Ibis sculpture caught my attention and I kept returning to the site to see it again. Eventually, I decided it had to come home. It is even more wonderful in person. Whimsey is always welcome.

Egyptian Mythology

The Ibis. The Moon. The Barque. The piece does carry me to another place. We have placed it in a quiet place where we can sit and admire it. In many ways it is a simple, but beautiful. The Ibis stands proud above a silvery moon. The Barque carries them away on their spiritual journey. The handiwork is superb. This is a special piece.

Love Dona Dalton

My wife and I have been fans of Dona Dalton for many years. Her Egyptian-themed pieces are especially appealing. She evinces a love of her subject and a genuine appreciation of Egyptian cosmology. The Ibis Moon Barq is the epitome of her style. Smooth, flowing, with a hint of mystery.
