When you first gaze upon the paintings of Artist Daryl Myntia Daniels, you are immediately drawn in by the vibrant colors. The artist says she was inspired by the sun.
"At one point in my life, I kind of hid away from the sun, because I was ashamed of my dark skin, and so I really wanted to just celebrate the sun and use that as a solar power to fully charge this energy,” said Myntia Daniels, who is originally from Cincinnati, Ohio and received her MFA in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts.
