Born in Des Moines, Iowa, Michael Dailey spent his life chasing the subtle shifts of light and atmosphere. He moved to Seattle in 1963, a transition that would define much of his professional existence. It was there that he began a long tenure as a professor of painting and drawing at the University of Washington, a position he held for over thirty years. His presence in the Pacific Northwest was not merely as an educator but as a quiet observer of the world's shifting hues. He sought to capture the very essence of light, often looking toward the misty landscapes of the region to inform his vision.
His technique was one of patience and repetition. He did not simply apply paint; he built it. By layering translucent colors, he created images that seemed to glow from within, as if the light were trapped beneath the surface of the canvas. This method allowed him to achieve a softness that felt both physical and ethereal. He would rework a single veil of color over and over again, seeking a specific, precise hue that could truly represent the moment he intended to freeze in time.
The reach of his work extended far beyond the classrooms of the University of Washington. His canvases found their way into significant collections and galleries, reflecting a deep engagement with the visual language of abstraction. His ability to translate the atmosphere of a place into a purely sensory experience led to his inclusion in several prestigious institutions:
One of his notable works, Scapa Evening, created in 1973, serves as a clear example of his dedication to color. Though an abstract work, it was inspired by the landscape of Scapa in Alberta, Canada. In this piece, he utilized shades of green, turquoise, and gray to mimic the fading light of dusk. The painting reveals the history of its own creation, as the underlying layers remain visible beneath the final surface, offering a glimpse into the labor required to reach his desired effect.
In the later years of his life, the depth of his contribution to the art community was recognized through significant honors. A major retrospective at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art in 2008 provided an opportunity to view the breadth of his career. He passed away in Seattle, Washington, leaving behind a body of work that remains held in numerous public and corporate collections. His paintings continue to exist as studies in light, captured through the careful, repetitive application of oil on canvas.
