Diane feels in order for a painting to work it must be successful on several layers - design, drawing, color and emotional content. "I'm always struggling to bring the quality of all these elements together. When everything interacts as I want it, it's a great day, when it doesn't I consider it a challenge to work harder."
Diane creates her impressionistic paintings in oils. The human figure is the subject she is drawn to most often. "There is so much to say when painting a human being, the emotions you share with the person and the ones you don't, make it all magical and mysterious to me."
Diane prefers to start her work with exploratory sketches from life. From these drawings she mines the essence of the design and rhythm that holds everything together. Each piece has its' own world, where the figure is alive in a unique environment.
An important aspect of Diane's work is inviting the viewer in, orchestrating the painting so that the observer becomes a participant. Simplicity is what Diane feels gives her work it's strength.
