Dale Draeger is emerging as one of Oregon’s finest landscape artists. Her interpretation of the state’s exquisite scenic beauty and spiritual expansiveness of undisturbed nature has attracted a legion of followers and collectors.
Dale, who lives in rural north Corvallis, paints exclusively in acrylics, and layers as many as six contrasting colors on a canvas before the finishing highlights and varnish are applied.

Her goal is to make each painting an unforgettable outdoor experience that captures the mystery and majesty that lurks in the fields, rivers and streams of her adopted state.
Dale, a 1980 University of Oregon graduate with a degree in fine arts, was a graphic designer and painted murals as large as 40 feet wide before abandoning commercial art for an ongoing love affair with the Great Outdoors.
She credits her second-grade teacher, along with her dad, Walt Draeger, for encouraging her to develop a precocious proclivity for drawing that now has galleries and art critics singing her praises.
