Darla Boljat | Painting Instructor

An Oregonian, Darla Kay Boljat grew up in Tigard and now calls Sherwood her home. She became a professional artist in 2005 after first starting to paint in 2004. She teaches painting techniques to students ages six and older. Each summer, Darla paints with students at the annual D. K. Boljat Summer Camp where she really enjoys helping students create their own masterpieces in only a few days. Darla also enjoys creating commissioned paintings of any family-friendly subject. Each painting begins with an acrylic sketch and is finished in either acrylic or oil paint.

Darla is driven to explore her home state, and the works that she has created as a result of her travels represent her personal best of the beautiful scenery Oregon offers. Whether it is the nearby escape that is the Wildlife Refuge, the majesty of Mt. Hood, the serene Japanese Gardens, or the still of the Painted Hills, these individual pieces all work together to help illustrate the timeless wonder that is our Oregon. You can see more of D.K. Boljat's paintings on her website www.dkboljat.com.
