This exhibit of 15 paintings demonstrated the progression of Dailey’s art over 44 years between 1965 and 2009. He was one of the Northwest’s great mystical painters.

Writing about his process, Dailey commented, “What most fascinates me about the local environment is its transitional, ever-changing, fluid nature . . . I seldom plan or construct a painting but try to get it to evolve and develop from the process of painting itself—improvising and revising until it feels right.”
