About
Dara Schaefer is a multidisciplinary artist and designer. She creates her own collections of unique sculptures and objects for the home as well as curating art and design collections for private and corporate clients. She attended the art and architecture schools at The Cooper Union where she received her Bachelor of Architecture.
Merging her love of both nature and technology, her creative practice integrates cutting edge digital fabrication technologies with traditional sculpture and ceramic techniques. Her final forms are digital explorations of nature-inspired manifestations, where the architectural aspects of materiality, light, space and scale are integral to each design.
Her work has been exhibited at Design Miami’s own DMBX booth during Art Basel 2021, at Culture Object in New York City, and at Surface Magazine’s “Woman Made” show in Miami. Surface Magazine has included her work in their “Design Dose” list of emerging designers and Design Miami has also featured her work on their website and in their marketing emails.
Dara has studios in the Hudson Valley and New York City where she lives with her husband David Greenberg. They are the parents of 2 young adults—Jonah working in finance in NYC and Ariella a student at School of the Art Institute in Chicago.
