Darryl Lavare

Darryl LaVare was born Darryl Goldsmith and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. She became interested in the arts from an early age and an inspiring high school art teacher entered her work in contests. After her Junior year, she won a full scholarship to the pre-college program at The Rhode Island School of Design. She loved it and knew she would try to attend college there. She did attend RISD and graduated in 1990 with a BFA in painting. She did internships at The Gracie Mansion Gallery and The Pace Gallery and was an artists assistant to Donald Baechler. She worked at The Guggenheim Museum while painting and living on The Lower East Side. She met many artists, film makers, musicians, and political activists that she collaborated with and socialized with appearing in such films as Nick Zedd’s Ecstasy In Entropy, Why So You Exist, and I of Canine just to name a few. She met and later married her now husband, filmaker Scot-Free and has two daughters, Justine and Jane. They live in New York City and Darryl paints and exhibits her work and teaches a painting class and a mural class to children.
