Education Dalton trained at Goldsmiths, University of London and Brighton University and gained a PhD in Creative studies from Plymouth University in 2008. Career Dalton taught studio practice and critical theory at Dartington College of Arts and Birmingham City University. Dalton spent many years as an academic researcher in socially contextualised practice in printmaking and art education, drawing on feminist and linguistic theory. In recent years she has eschewed 'theory'. The arts - she now believes - are being absorbed within the economies of entertainment, social welfare and consumerism.
