Diana's sources of inspiration come from the natural world and she is currently painting landscapes using transparent layers of paint and mixed media to create texture in her beautiful paintings.
​
This Wivenhoe artist's technique
​
She sketches and takes photographs of places throughout the seasons and then when she's back in her art studio, she combines elements that evoke the atmosphere or mood of a place rather than just painting a traditional scene or landscape.
​
Diana studied art at Chelsea College of Art
​
Diana completed a three year degree course at the Chelsea College of Art and prior to that a two year foundation course at the City Lit, which covered sculpture, print-making, and painting.
