Darcy Gerdes

"Art is a Pigment of your Imagination"


"Afternoon Delight"
Although she grew up in the shadows of Disneyland, Darcy Gerdes didn't have to wish upon a star to make her dreams come true. The self-taught artist has built a thriving career based on talent, determination, and "lots of hard work"

The Magic Kingdom did, however, have an influence on Darcy's young life. Her father helped build the famous theme park, and next-door was an animator for Disney and Hanna Barbera. Nurtured in this creative environment, she began drawing at an early age, and by the time she was 5, Darcy could be found selling caricatures of her neighbors for a nickel each.

Today, selected pieces of Darcy's mixed-media works are available in art prints from such publishers as Figi Graphics, Leanin Tree Cards, and Leisure Arts. Her designs appear on greeting cards, coffee mugs, magnets, and crosstitch leaflets. This year she signed with Art in Motion, that will publish open editions, art cards and posters.
