Daphne Arthur received an MFA from Yale University in 2009 and a BFA from the The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2007. She's had solo exhibitions at the University of Massachusetts, and Aalto University in Finland. Daphne has been included in national and international group exhibitions at the Honfleur Gallery, City College of New York, The Nathan Cummings Foundation, Laviolabank Gallery, Arena 1, California African American Museum, Land of Tomorrow, and Mexic-Arte Museum.

Daphne shares: "I use smoke, paint, clay, and collage to explore the qualities that exist in the nature of change and impermanence.
Trails of incandescent candles, slithering drips of colors, clusters of glitter and found materials blur the line between ephemera and permanence.  Beauty and decay. Intuition and cognition. Illusion and reality.
A serendipitous encounter, a walk along the shore, or a cut out from a magazine generate paintings and drawings that explore human relations, the physical realities and conspicuous nature of ephemera and memory, by framing the illusive obviousness of these realities in time and space through objectively depicted materials."
