Dakini Design. Made of hand-blown and oven formed glass, her works of art are painted on the reverse side. The wrought iron and bronze hardware for the lamps, designed by Ulla and forged by master craftsmen, perfectly complement the shapes and colors of the glass. Ulla’s pieces are collected by museums, Royalty and celebrity collectors including Sir Anthony Hopkins, Larry Hagman, Cher, and film producer Dino de Laurentis. What is most fascinating about the creation of Ulla’s works is preparation for painting. The great British poet William Blake once said, "I myself do nothing. The Holy Spirit accomplishes all through me." Ulla, too, does not take credit for the appearance of her paintings; some may attribute this to modesty, but Ulla attributes it to the forces that work through her. Her preparation for painting is meditation. "I wake up in the morning very grateful for the ability to do this," she said, "but I’ve never felt that ‘I’ was doing it. My inspiration comes in a meditative state. I simply get out of the way and let a higher power come in. Once I start to paint, I don’t really have any control over what develops; my hand simply goes." A chance visit by an antique dealer led Ulla to reverse painting on glass. Her colorful, artistically rendered lamps filled a void in the art world. She placed a single black and white ad in a trade paper and after that "the phone never stopped ringing." The first order, for a gallery in Beverly Hills, was for 50 lamps. Since then her business has exploded. Lawry manages the business end of Ulla’s art, leaving her to create and develop her art in new directions. He is steering the company in their new direction, one that emphasizes integrity and growth in consciousness.Pairpoint museum founder and author, Edward Malakoff‘s prediction that Ulla Darni is "Tomorrow’s Tiffany" is unfolding in a glorious way. Excerpted from the Publisher’s Introduction: Best of New York, Impressions in Continuity, publ. 2004. "… Royalty, museums and celebrities had discovered Ms. Darni years ago. From the Crown Princess of Denmark to Sir Anthony Hopkins, from Richard Rockefeller to Roger Clemens, the list was distinguished and substantial." On meeting Ms. Darni …. "Her physical beauty was more than matched by the glowing energy that seemed to surround her. Laughter and playfulness showed us a heart full of loving-kindness. The twinkle in her eyes was more than humor. It conveyed an understanding of life and a relishing of all things good and beautiful." "We learned that Ms. Darni came from a background of courage. As with all of us, her early years imprinted her with the skills she would need. In her case, courage became combined with trust – the trust in her intuitive self. Life affirmed that each time she received a strong sense of what could be accomplished, she stepped forward, willing to learn the lessons needed in order to bring her in-sight into the physical dimension. One of those lessons was meditation, or as she likes to say: ‘my version’." Of Ulla’s meditative process: "… there is silence … until the knowing sense arrives that it is time to begin. Her certainty combines with powerful and sensitive brush strokes. From her limited palette, intensities explode that touch the heart." "Webster’s defines ‘continuity’ as ‘consistency throughout’. We cannot think of a more elegant application than Ulla Darni’s career. To be precise, her work is consistently outstanding and has been for the length and breadth of her creative careers."
