He is a graduate of Columbus College of Art & Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.

Urig has painted all through his professional career. His work has hung in the Columbus Museum of Art and the Toledo Museum of Art. He has won major awards all across the United States including the Salmagundi Club in New York City. He has been represented by many galleries in the United States. Though now, he keeps his work for show at his working studio and gallery, “Daryl Urig’s Creative Underground Studio,” in Cincinnati, Ohio. He has won awards with the Portrait Society of America.

His Blog “The Adventures of an American Oil Painter” is read by painters across the word. His unique painting understanding, diversity and willingness to explore new directions in paint plus the ability to teach makes him a worthwhile resource to the professional artist.
