Daria was born in Romania. In 1975 she moved to Germany – Dusseldorf.

She was always interested in the arts, especially painting, and started to work with different art at an early age. She attended different schools of art in Dusseldorf.

She worked with glass (Fussing & Tiffany), painting in watercolour, oil and acrylics.

In 2000, she went on holiday to South Africa, bought a house in Kleinmond and lives there for 6 months every year.
She has time now for painting and painting intensely.

She went to some well-known S. A. artists in Kleinmond and Hermanus for lessons.
She paints landscapes and nudes.
She has discovered a love for colour combination, because South Africa offers fantastic daylight and has also started on abstracts.

Recently she became a member of the Vermont Art Circle.
