DrawnbyDara

Dara is a multidisciplinary artist based in the DMV and a proud graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University’s School of the Arts. Her creative journey began with a simple yet powerful intention: to reflect herself in a world where she often didn’t see representations that resonated. Through art, she began to fill that gap and in doing so, found her voice.

Known for her bold use of color and emotionally rich storytelling, Dara’s work invites viewers into deeply personal and universally felt narratives. Her style is both expressive and thoughtful, often blurring the line between observation and imagination.

Influenced by her grandfather a noteworthy artist from Harlem, New York, Dara carries forward his legacy, not only through inherited talent but by embracing and adapting the techniques he once used. Her practice is exploratory, spanning across acrylics, oils, graphite, and colored pencil, with each medium chosen to best serve the story she seeks to tell.
