Welcome to
the Studio of
Daryl Zang

Welcome to my website! Inspired by the tradition of diary keeping found throughout my family tree, I create representational, figurative oil paintings that reflect and document my own experiences.

Using my traditional training and carefully considered compositions, I create colorful paintings that follow the trajectory of my life. At home as a new mother, I painted self-portraits about pregnancy and the early stages of motherhood, using painting to make sense of a new stage of life. As my children grew, I found inspiration in the joy they discovered in each day. I explore the stages of life we progress through, our changing relationships with each other, and our evolving vision of ourselves.

Over time, my paintings have remained focused on moments of personal growth and change, self-reflection and celebration. My work is a visual journal, and my representational style enables me to create art that reveals a personal narrative and emphasizes our shared human experiences.
