Dara Weyna in her studio

Thanks for being here

I am a multi-disciplinary artist working in the mediums of painting, drawing, crochet and collage. My work is graphic in style and merges bold, vibrant colors with clean, curvaceous lines. This marriage of color and line creates a dialogue of unapologetic joy, playful sensuality and quiet strength.

In my practice, I am exploring the physical and emotional connections I have to the female body, the land on which we dwell and the inherent creative spirit that resides within us all. These subjects find commonality in the celebration of their vulnerability and fortitude, and I see them as metaphors for our human experiences of emotional expansion, intimacy, comfort and growth.
