Darla was born in Canada and has resided in Barbados as a citizen since 1982. She received formal art education in Canada and has worked in many art related arenas: teacher, interior and exterior decorator and designer, letter specialist, trade mark designer, advertising art department supervisor, sign painter. Beginning her professional painting career in 1978, Darla has exhibited in Canada and Barbados and her work has been purchased internationally as well as by many business houses and government departments in Barbados. In 1986 she founded the Coffee and Cream Art Gallery.

Darla works predominantly in acrylics and her work can be described as subject realism. “The artist’s responsibility is to leave an impression in the eye, mind and the heart of the viewer …… If someone should stop and see then what I have done has truly been worthwhile.”
