Daria Dorosh (born 1943) is an artist, educator and activist. Born in Ukraine, she has lived and worked in New York City since 1950. She is among the co-founders, in 1972, of Artists in Residence (A.I.R. Gallery),[1] the first all-female cooperative gallery in the United States.[2][3] Dorosh's work was part of the inaugural exhibition at A.I.R.[4] Dorosh studied art at the Cooper Union School of Art and Architecture and fashion at Fashion Institute of Technology.[5]
Dorosh served on the faculty of Fashion Institute of Technology from 1969 to 2014 and has received numerous grants and awards for her work as an individual artist, including a National Endowment for the Arts Design Arts grant, a Delaware Valley Arts Alliance Individual Artists grant, and an ArtTable, 30th Anniversary Artist Honors Award.
Dorosh's early exhibitions included small watercolors.[6] Her other works are intersections of art, fashion, and technology[7][8][9] Dorosh examines cultural patterns that appear across disciplines. She creates work which questions "the relationship between a work of art, its viewer and the so-called real space in which both are 'confronted.'"[10] Dorosh also uses digital prints in her work.[11]
Her work is in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.[12]
Her image is included in the iconic 1972 poster Some Living American Women Artists by Mary Beth Edelson.[13]
