Dale Faulstich, a self-employed artist, has been producing both
commercial and fine art since 1972. Dale’s home and studio are located
on the North Olympic Peninsula in Washington State where he lives with his
wife, Heather, and their two children. His fascination with the art form
of the aboriginal people of the Northwest Coast has strongly influenced
his work.

 Dale
has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the Jamestown Klallam Tribe
of Sequim, Washington. This collaboration has led to several commissioned
art works in and around the Tribe’s Administration Building and to a
series of five limited
edition prints. A portion of the profits from this print project goes to
the Tribe’s Cultural Program.
|
 Dale has presented a variety of carvings and drawings that depict the art
and housing customs of the coastal Northwest Indians. Dale also teaches an ongoing series
of classes for the cultural program, assisting tribal members to design and carve a
variety of traditional objects. He has also designed and helped carve ten totem poles,
many carved panels, and other carved figures for the tribe’s Seven Cedars Casino in
Sequim, Washington.
|
 All of Dale’s works are custom designed, well researched, and employ
the highest quality materials and workmanship. His artwork is grounded in an understanding
of the stylistic tradition of the art of the indigenous people of the Northwest Coast and
is admired by both native and non-native peoples.
