Daci's Biography

I currently based in West Grey, Ontario and I was born in Brasov, Transylvania, one of the most fascinating parts of Romania. I grew up in the picturesque and breathtakingly beautiful countryside surrounded by the legend of Dracula's Castle.

​

I come from a family of artists. I started my studies at the Elementary Art School in Brasov, but after 2 years, during the rise of the communist regime, the Art School was closed. I then moved to Cluj, Napoca where I attended the Fine Arts High School and graduated with a diploma in Mural Painting. Since the communist regime repressed the production of creative art, I had to work on my own until the regime collapsed in 1990.

​

I have a Bachelor's Degree and a Graduate Degree in Fine Art from the Academy of Fine Arts "loan Andreescu" in Cluj-Napoca. I also received a Bachelor's Degree in Catholic Theology and Social Work and an Master's Degree in Semiotics and Psychology of the Sign and Symbols from the Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj Napoca.

​

In March 2000 I immigrated to Canada where I continued my studies and received an Interior Decorating Diploma in 2003. I have earned numerous awards in national and international competitions and have participated in several international exhibitions throughout my artistic career.

Durham Art Gallery rests on the traditional land of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, which is represented by the communities of Saugeen First Nation and Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation. The Métis Nation of Ontario, whose history and people are also well represented in what are now known as Bruce and Grey Counties. 

 

We are committed to re-framing our responsibilities to land, history and community. We acknowledge that words are insufficient and that it is our responsibility to move beyond statements and workds as we continue to listen, learn and  uphold the critical importance of truth, reconciliation and reparation.  

​

In line with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action, we are committed to the dismantling of anti-Indigenous racism and discriminatory practices against Indigenous People.
