About Dari Blythe

Since retiring from an active duty Army career in 2015, Dari Blythe has examined the human desire to commemorate life's unique milestones, both sweet and savory. She has recognized the value of expressing personal experiences through dedicated creative sessions. By shaping the way that stories are told and retold through movement and images she has guided others to reclaim their autonomy. 0nion Cake starts with a zero instead of an o, reminding those enjoying this step to let Nothing hold them back.
