ART INSIGHTS PRESENTS ILLUSTRATOR

DAVID DIBBLE

DECEMBER 8, 2011

Southern Utah University, Cedar City, Utah: Combining visual elements into something greater, David Dibble approaches his art with deep prowess and sense of responsibility that is evident in his work and career. An illustrator, he has worked for the past three years as a Color Designer for Blue Sky Studios, working on such films as Rio, Ice Age 4, and Leafman. He will present on his artistic vision and career at SUU’s Department of Art and Design’s weekly lecture series, Art Insights, on Thursday, December 8. The lecture begins at 7pm at the Centrum Arena, Section K, admission is free and the general public is encouraged to attend.

On why he creates, artist David Dibble says “I am so moved by life and nature that I cannot keep silent.” He views his profession as a privilege and responsibility to help others and see deeper into life and creation.  Born and raised on a farm in Layton, Utah, Dibble’s art training began early working with his mother, also an artist, who encouraged him and allowed him to raid her art supplies. Later training would take him to the Scuole Internazionale di Grafica in Venice, Italy, Weber State University, Brigham Young University (BFA-Illustration), and the Academy of Art University in San Francisco (MFA-Illustration/Fine Art). He currently resides in New York with his wife and son.

Learn more about David Dibble’s artistic vision and career by attending his Art Insights’ appearance. For more information on the SUU College of Performing and Visual Arts events, please call the Arts Hotline at (435) 865-8800, or visit www.suu.edu/arts.
