| Your Personal Biography |
Daya Bonnie Rao is an artist and art educator living outside Seattle, Washington. Born and raised in NYC, she graduated from SUNY Stony Brook with emphasis in studio art and nursing.
Daya had a diverse and interesting career in nursing spanning many years, including a Master’s Degree in Community Health Nursing, a sabbatical in India to develop a rural hospital, publications, teaching, administration and research. She now devotes full-time to teaching art and career education in the local school district and community centers. She creates her own works in her home studio.
”I feel drawn to ancient symbols, especially those relating to women. I appreciate the color and texture of Matisse, the imagination and color of Chagall, the innovation and craftsmanship of Rauschenburg and Jasper Johns, and the visual voice of feminist artists.
I love to travel to experience people and things within their own environments and culture. I love color and texture, especially vibrant color and organic texture. I feel and paint the interconnectedness of shape, color and form, and of people and places which span across time.”
Most recent media explorations include abstract portraits, acrylics, watercolor, and printmaking. She is busy with commissions from non-profit organizations and patrons around the world.
