Long before he saw the Escalante canyons David Delthony was creating sculptured furniture that echoed the landscape of southern Utah. A native of New York with BA degrees from Pennsylvania’s Haverford College and the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin as well as a Master Craftsman’s Certification in Woodworking he earned while in Germany, Delthony and his ceramic artist wife, Brigitte, moved to southern Utah in 1996 where they built an art studio west of the town of Escalante. Delthony, an award-winning artist, has exhibited in Europe and the United States where his works are in numerous collections. He is the 2002 recipient of the Utah Arts Council Visual Arts Fellowship award, a 2005 rewardee for the UAC Individual Artist Grant and the 2009 featured artist for the Sixth Annual Escalante Canyons Art Festival. This presentation will focus on the life and art of Delthony and his development as an artist. Funded by Envision Escalante.
