Hey there!

I’m Daria, an illustrator and creative producer based out of Carmel, IN.

I began my art journey with a strong foundation in traditional fine arts, and have dabbled in just about every medium- although my favorites are graphite pencil, gouache, and collage. I started volunteering at a local art studio from a young age, eventually progressing to becoming a full time instructor many years later.

Eventually my focus shifted to digital art, and my passion for video games led me to pursue a degree in Game Art at Columbia College Chicago, where I graduated in 2022. Shortly after graduation I was hired by the video games publisher Activision, where I currently work as a Production Coordinator.

Alongside my work in the games industry, I run a small art business called LiminaLost, which I established in 2021. This is an avenue for me to sell my designs on a variety of merchandise, including prints, stickers, charms, and more. I conduct sales through an online storefront, as well as in-person events throughout my community.

One of my favorite themes to explore in my work is the intersections of queerness and the natural world. My greatest inspiration comes from immersing myself in the outdoors and studying the wildlife around me. In addition, I love to create fan works for pieces of media I’m passionate about!

When I’m not working, you can find me horseback riding, taking long walks in nature, or hanging out with my cats, Ollie and Willow.
