D’Arcy graduated from Middlesex Universary in  Art and Design in London, UK in 1994. He studied Graphic Design and Animation. Then, he went on to own his own design studio in Soho. London

As the design industry evolved and computerized transforming the design business, D’Arcy went on to explore other options. He started painting again. After 15 years in business, he sold his company and felt driven to reconnect with art and began painting with oils. During his four and a half years of painting on canvas, he developed an exclusive style that truly speaks to his soul.
