About Ulla Darni

Ulla Darni is as vivid as her art. A native of Denmark and a source of stirring creativity. Hailed as, “Today’s Tiffany”, she is widely regarded as the modern master of reverse-painted glass. Collected throughout the world, Ulla’s work adorns palaces, estates, museums, galleries and beautifies every installation. Working from her Catskill Mountains sudio, she is a seemingly boundless source of beauty.

After completing her young career as a porcelain painter, her luck, beauty and vivacious personality led to a career on stage and screen. Ulla worked as an actress for seven years alongside numerous film stars, the culmination of which was a co-starring role in the international award-winning film, The Duel.

Ulla moved to New York City and began studying painting with renowned artist mentors at New York’s Art Student League and won prizes and recognition for her paintings on canvas.

A chance visit by an antique dealer led Ulla to painting on glass. Her colorful, artistically-rendered, hand-painted glass lamps were stunning, unique and became highly collectable.

Demand for Ulla’s work led to representation and installations throughout the world and the introduction to her husband and business partner, glass sculpture Lawry Swidler.

When Ulla is not painting, she is applying her vision and talents to jewelry, fashion design, ceramics and playing the harp.
