Daggi Wallace

Born and raised in Berlin, Germany, Daggi is an award winning painter specializing in contemporary figurative realism and portraiture. She spent more than 40 years living in the USA where she has reached the level of Eminent Pastelist of the International Association of Pastel Societies, Master Pastelist of the Pastel Society of America and Distinguished Pastelist of the Pastel Society of the West Coast.
Working primarily in pastel and charcoal she pushes the more traditional boundaries of the medium by incorporating other materials into her work and presentation. Inspired by her dual cultural life she mixes realism with abstraction and personal narrative with social and political undercurrents.

Her work has been shown at the National Arts Club and the Salmagundi Club in NYC, the Butler Institute of American Art, OH, The Zhou B. Art Center in Chicago, The Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art and is in several permanent corporate collections as well as private collections throughout the U.S. and Europe including The Bennett Art Collection Of Women Realists and the Lucille Packard Children's Hospital in Palo Alto, CA. Galleries that have shown her work include RJD Gallery, NY, 33 Contemporary, Chicago, Vose Galleries, Boston and Abend ...
