Dale Zarrella is a sculptor and painter living in Maui, Hawai'i. Born in Southington, Connecticut, he began sculpting at the age of nine[1] and received his first commission, for a crucifix for St. Dominic Catholic Church, when he was 18.[2] He relocated to Hawaii in 1985.[3] He is best known for his statue of Saint Damien of Molokai, created for the Damien and Marianne of Moloka'i Heritage Center in Waikiki. A second copy of the statue was later presented to Pope Benedict XVI in commemoration of Father Damien's canonization.[4]
Zarrella also serves as a director of the World Turtle Trust, a Hawaiian nonprofit that works to protect the endangered green sea turtle.[1]
Examples of his work are on display at the King Kamehameha Golf Course Clubhouse,[5] St. John's Seminary,[6] the Grand Wailea Resort,[7] and in the Vatican Museums,[4] and have been collected by August Busch IV, Danny DeVito, Carl Weathers, and Fred L. Turner.[3]
