General info :
Deborah A. Gordon Dart is an American illustrator, painter and sculptor. She often uses the acronym Dagdart.

Dart began exhibiting her paintings in 1973 and The New Yorker Magazine began buying her pen & ink drawings shortly thereafter. Her award winning paintings have been shown nationally in galleries, juried shows, competitions and solo exhibits. Dart’s illustrations went beyond publication in The New Yorker to appear on magazine covers, in articles, books, more magazines, calendars, pamphlets, and in advertisements for major periodicals and publishers.

A true milestone in her career came early on. At 24, she received the unexpected invitation for membership in the oldest continuously exhibiting professional women’s art organization in the United States, the Petticoat Painters. Dart exhibited for years with this prestigious group of established painters.

In the 1990’s she shifted her work a bit and accepted a commission to create a site specific sculpture in Sarasota, Florida. While she continued to paint and illustrate, this new art form became increasingly important to her.

Her work has been published in The New Yorker, Bon Appétit, Yankee Magazine, Gulfshore Life, The New Jersey Journal of Public Issues, a.o.

In 2018 Dart and her husband made a gigantic move from the west coast of Florida to the west coast of California. She now draws, paints and designs sculpture in her studio north of San Francisco.

Dart gave up her agent, the artist rep and the galleries mainly to be able to create what she wanted without pressure allowing her full control of her work. She does continue to license some of her designs though to companies she is comfortable with that produce prints, cards, paper products and gift items.
