ABOUT DAPHNEE

The Story Behind Dazzled Utopia 

“Creativity takes courage” - Henri Matisse

Daphnee Rinvil, Founder & Creative Director 

I’m Daphnee Rinvil, owner of Dazzled Utopia Art Studio and creator of Dazzled Homes by Daphnee. We bring hands-on, memorable art experiences to NYC public and private schools, after-school programs, community organizations, businesses, hotels, and resorts.

 

As a proud NYC DOE vendor and special education teacher, inclusion is at the heart of my work. I hold a bachelor’s degree in education, a master’s degree in special education, and certifications in early childhood and special education. With 15 years of experience as a Special Education Itinerant Teacher, I thoughtfully adapt each experience for different ages and abilities.

 

Dazzled Homes is another side of my creativity. I design one-of-a-kind resin, broken-glass, and personalized statement pieces completely from scratch. Every piece is handcrafted around the client’s ideas, colors, personality, or space, with pricing based on its size, materials, and details.

 

My journey through breast cancer helped shape Dazzled Utopia into a place of resilience, joy, and creative connection. Whether I’m bringing an art experience to your group or creating a custom piece for your space, my goal is to make something personal, beautiful, and made to be remembered.
