Dale Claude Lamphere

Sculptor Dale Claude Lamphere has completed over fifty major public commissions from the Basilica of the National Shrine in Washington, D.C., to the Eisenhower Medical Center and the City of Burbank in California. Recent creations have been placed in Chicago, Kansas City, Colorado Springs, and Edmond, Okalahoma.

His work explores a broad range of materials and subjects from monumental landscapes, to human forms, to abstract. After 40 years, Lamphere still finds natural forms an enduring inspiration that evoke in him a distilled and elegant response. The common thread that runs through his work is the lyric gesture and full volume that he sees in his mountain and prairie environment. Lamphere has received the Anna Hyatt Huntington Award and many honors for creative achievement. His body of work includes both classic figurative and contemporary sculpture.

Lamphere has also created numerous portraits of individuals including Burl Ives, George McGovern, Walter Annenberg, and Bob and Dolores Hope.
