Biography
DALE ENOCHS
From Indiana limestone, Dale Enochs creates sculptures befitting the standard of what is considered the finest limestone in the world. He often combines metal with his limestone work, or he creates stand-alone metal sculptures depending on the needs of a project. The fact that his pieces are in collections as far-reaching as the Zhejiang Foreign Affairs Department, Hangzhou, China, and the private collections of Sir Paul McCartney is a testament to his ability to move vision into reality in such an unforgiving medium.
Enochs’ accolades include teaching assignments at six colleges and universities and more than eighteen awards. His pieces range from a monumental creation weighing 37 tons and a 125-foot-long composition of incised limestone to residential furnishings and small table elements.
Works by this artist may be found in prominent public and private collections. Since 2015 alone, Enochs has been commissioned to create monumental sculptures for the Monroe County Courthouse (Bloomington, IN), Longs Peak (Westminster, CO), Bicentennial Plaza for the Indiana State House (Indianapolis, IN), Indianapolis, the Emens Center in Muncie Indiana a permanent installation at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art and Deaconess Hospital in Evansville Indiana. In 2016, he was selected as one of the 200 top artists in Indiana’s history and created a piece for the Indiana State Museum’s Bicentennial exhibit.
