Dari Calamari

Visual Art – Richmond

I'm Dari, like Calamari and I'm mostly a painter. I've always done art in some capacity for as long as I could remember. I specialized in ceramics hand-building in college, and when I graduated, I became a high school art teacher. After serving in the Air Force for 4 years I went back to school to figure out what else to do, I knew I wanted to do something that involved art but I wasn't sure what. Towards the end of 2017, I made the decision to solely pursue art full time. It's been the most fulfilling thing I've ever done, to think of an idea, express it through paint and then post it to share it with people. Create and share, rinse and repeat. My work is evolving with each piece I make and it's exciting for me to even see where I'm going.
