David Herbert Dale was born in Kano and is one of Nigeria's most significant artists. He attended St. Gregory's College, Lagos (1966), where he was taught art by master printmaker, Bruce Onobrakpeya MFR. He later studied Fine Art and Art History at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria (1971) specializing in Illustration and Graphic Design.
Proficient in over 23 different media, including stained glass, watercolor, beads and deep-etching, Dale is one of the most versatile artists working in Nigeria today. He incorporates
symbolic design motifs and explores a wide variety of themes. These include landscape, religion, Nigerian traditional dances and festivals, dignity of labour and Nigerian womanhood.
Dale's works have been exhibited extensively all over the world and in 1972, he was the first artist in Lagos to stage a solo exhibition of deep etching, watercolors, lino prints and pencil drawings. Some of his major works are; the stained glass for Our Savior's Church and the Holy Family Church, both in Lagos.
