Darling Graham, born in Rome, Italy, is a contemporary visual artist working between Canada and the United States. Her multidisciplinary practice includes drawing, photography, and digital media, forming a poetic visual language rooted in emotional resonance, daily observation, and personal mythology. Darling considers her work a personal journal and an existential library in which each image becomes a page filled with reflection, feeling, and dreamlike narrative.

Her creative process begins with photographs captured in her everyday life, such as self portraits, skies, oceans, and flowers. She transforms these moments into atmospheric and imaginary landscapes through a hybrid method that combines delicate graphite drawing with soft pastel and digital painting. A recurring female figure and a cat appear throughout her compositions and serve as symbolic companions and extensions of her inner world.

Darling studied at the historic Liceo Artistico Via Ripetta in Rome and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Ottawa. She has exhibited her work across the United States, including Art Basel Miami in 2024, The Hole Gallery in New York in 2025, and multiple venues in Miami and Richmond. Her forthcoming projects include a large scale digital billboard presentation in Times Square in January 2026 and a spring 2026 group exhibition at The Hole Gallery in New York. These upcoming presentations continue to expand the visibility and reach of her practice.

Darling’s work reflects a contemporary sensibility grounded in softness, introspection, and emotional depth. She creates spaces in which everyday experience becomes poetic and the boundary between reality and imagination gently dissolves.
