Dale Rio
Dale Rio earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Smith College, double majoring in Studio Art and Russian Literature. She then moved on to get her Masters of Fine Art majoring in Photography with a minor in Printmaking. Her clientele stretch around the world, including; Illicit Clothing Company in Auckland, New Zealand; Marquis Magazine in Germany; Epitaph Records in Los Angeles; International Tattoo Magazine in NYC; and many others. She is also the co-owner of Black Graves Media, and both the co-owner and editor of Blood and Thunder Magazine along with Shimmy Magazine.
Dale Rio’s art ranges from gaudy, big-breasted, burlesque-style women to the serene traditions of Japan. The images retain an otherworldly quality, leaving the viewer detached from the scene despite the sometimes very in-your-face imagery. Put them all together they flow as if from a very bizarre dream where you travel from a brothel that melts into the monotony of every day scenes, to Japan; from an abandoned ghost town on to a rock show at a carnival. Tattooed people often appear in her work, though many of them are not featured on her website.
