Born in
1944, Dale Klee grew up in a small town in the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan, where he had daily exposure to cars at his father's Standard
Service gas station. "I got extremely excited whenever an old
coupe or convertible would pull in for gas. I was especially fond of
the old Ford flatheads." In school Dale was often caught
drawing hot rods and cartoons.
In 1980, after the usual route through college and
mainstream jobs, Dale decide to convert his hobby of painting abandoned
cars and country places into a full-time occupation. The demand for
rustic approach led to limited edition prints since 1990.
"I like to think I'm painting for people
who get an unexplainable thrill from discovering an abandoned old
car. I hope my art, like the old cars themselves, stirs the
imagination of the viewer. I'm doing what I love and grateful that
so many people enjoy it." |
