Daphne was born in England and brought up living in countries
all over the globe. As a child she was an avid photographer and spent much of her time photographing people and animals with her Box Brownie Camera.
For eighteen years, she was an Actress in Canada, working in Theatre, Film, Radio, Dubbing and Television. Before moving to New Mexico, Daphne lived with her husband, Gene, a Longshoreman, on the Columbia River, in a large Floating Home that
they designed together. In 1996, they moved to the Southwest. It was in
Las Cruces that Daphne started to paint - greatly impacted by the wildlife
around her. In her work as a Wildlife/Nature painter, she uses her bird and animal photographs whenever possible.
Daphne's art has been featured at The Main Street
and Glen Cutter Galleries in Las Cruces as well as the Hal Marcus Gallery in El Paso. Her painting SONGBIRDS AND SOUNDBYTES was featured in the Southern
New Mexico/El Paso juried Exhibition at the Preston Contemporary Art Center
In Mesilla. Her work BON-BONS AND PETIT-FOURS was entered in the juried
SWEETS show at Studio54@70 Gallery in Tularosa, where it won first prize. The University Medical Center in El Paso has 9 canvases of her work on
permanent display. She has also had paintings juried in for display at the Las Cruces City Hall, where they were on display for a year.
Daphne shows her work at The ADOBE PATIO GALLERY in Melilla, NM.
