Both of the Darling Sisters work in the arts and culture fields, and we consider ourselves extremely fortunate to do so. Not only do we meet and work with many wonderful people, but we have the opportunity to observe first-hand how incredibly important the arts are as a part of everyday life. We love that there are so many people out there sharing their skills and talents with others. It is a shame that very few people in Australia or overseas can make a full-time living from their artistic talents. However we do believe that all of us who enjoy the arts should be willing to contribute part of our finances to keeping the arts alive. They say you never know what you had until it is gone. Let us appreciate artists now and enjoy what we have while it is ours to enjoy! Here are links to the pages of some wonderful, wonderful artists who the Darling Sisters are keen to appreciate.

Miss Kitka's House of Burlesque

Divine Miss Kitka runs Canberra's original school of Burlesque dance, which both Darla and Blossom have participated in - and enjoyed enormously - in the past. So good for movement, self-esteem and developing your glamorous inner self! The ladies and gentlemen of Miss Kitka's stage shows in Canberra and interstate every year that feature performers old and new, glamorous costumes, fabulous music and a lot of laughs. Miss Kitka also runs vibrant and hilarious Hens Night parties!

Matt Huynh

Matt is the wonderful graphic artist who designed the Darling Sisters logo, which we adore. Matt is multi-talented, and his artistic talents are broad. Aside from the fact that Matt is a lovely person whose dealings with us have been ever so professional and friendly, we are in awe of his talent. If you ever find yourself wanting to commission some fabulous original art, we can't recommend Matt Huynh highly enough. Thank you Matt! You can enjoy some of Matt's artwork at his website:
