About the Artist . . .
Dale
Malmedal's story reads like a love letter to the American Wilderness -
one written in light, shadow, and soul. Raised in the quiet
expanse of northeastern Colorado, his early immersion in the Rockies
shaped not just his hobbies, but his life's calling. What began
as family camping trips evolved into a lifelong devotion to backpacking
and capturing nature's quiet majesty through the lens of a camera.
ART ROOTED IN ADVENTURE - From the Pintlar and Beartooth ranges of Montana, to the Wild Rivers of Wyoming, and throughout Colorado, Dale's journeys have taken him deep into the heart of the wild. His photography isn't just scenic - its sensory. He doesn't just document landscapes; he reveals their texture, their mood, their hidden rhythms. His work invites viewers to pause, breathe, and see what they might have missed.
A CAREER OF PASSION AND RECOGNITION - After marrying Gaelynne in 1979, Dale's artistic journey gained momentum. By 1995, he was touring the juried art festival circuit, eventually opening his gallery in Telluride that ran for over 15 years. Today, he continues to exhibit his work at his own gallery; Colorado Landscape Photography in Silverton, Colorado - just a block from where the Durango & Silverton train lets off passengers.
MORE THAN JUST PRETTY PICTURES - Dale's photography has been praised as "Best Southwest Scenic" and "this is as good as photography gets." But beyond the accolades, his work is an invitation: to indulge your imagination, to reconnect with nature, and find solace in the untouched corners of the world.
If you are in Silverton, you're in the perfect place to experience his vision firsthand. Please stop by his gallery open May - October.
