Like many artists, Diane has been an artist for as long as she can remember. She feels a visceral connection to what she sees around her, to places, to the land, to the prairies and sky. She is passionate about images expressed in texture, colour, and line. Diane's work often expresses her love for place in a tactile way. The viewer is drawn in, drawn to touch the surface, coming close to explore the fine details and transitions as well as the overall sense of the piece.
She works almost exclusively from her own photographs. Part of each summer is spent with friends and neighbors driving around their farms and back roads, touring their favorite places.
Diane is a painter and mixed media artist living in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She obtained a BFA from the University of Saskatchewan in 1987.
