Despite its small population, the Robson Valley sure possesses a disproportionate number of really creative people. Last night we went to the opening of Dale Stephen’s work at McBride’s Valley Museum and I was blown away at what I saw.
I have known Dale for decades. I knew he was a skilled woodworker, (he made the windows in my house), I knew he was an architectural designer (he designed many of the beautiful newer buildings in McBride), and I knew he was a talented musician (playing in several local bands), but his show at the museum opened my eyes to the many other creative skills that Dale possesses.
I discovered he is a skilled painter, sculptor, wood carver, and guitar maker. Even the wooden frames that he made for his paintings and prints are beautiful. Certainly, I knew Dale was a creative guy, but I was surprised at the vast range of his creativity, most of which he had kept hidden.
That is Dale in the photo above in front of some of his architectural design illustrations. Below are photos of a few of Dale’s creations that are on display at the Valley Museum for the next few months. You should catch it if you can, it is a wonderful show of creativity.
