Daina Higgins' cityscapes offer poetic snapshots of the urban environment. Working from her own photographs taken around residential and industrial sections of cities, mostly Brooklyn, Queens and Columbus, Higgins delicately paints tiny panels exclusively using spray paint. These highly detailed pieces are made in black and white with an occasional burst of color.
Originally from Columbus, Higgins graduated from Fort Hayes High School, received her BFA at the School for Visual Arts in New York and currently lives in Brooklyn.
