Dalton is known for his large, epic paintings of the human figure, which he weaves into mythic, psychosexual settings. He believes "Painting is not a process of perfection. It is an exploration of intent, heavily drugged by the opiate of discovering a new way." His work has been exhibited extensively in the United States, Europe, and Australia.
