Dianne lives in Sale, in Regional Victoria. After a career spent in fast paced industries in Melbourne, she has rediscovered her dormant love for the country and the contemplative pursuit of the artistic.
Dianne gains inspiration from the surrounding countryside, the beauty in her garden, her travels and indeed, anything she may see or experience which triggers an emotional response and the urge to portray it. With these portrayals she endeavours to sub conscientiously and spontaneously influence the viewer to their own emotional reaction, preferably, “I love it”.
She paints in oils, acrylic, watercolour and mixed media and is always trying new styles and subjects and ways of creating her art. Dianne loves exploring nature and nudging the boundaries of colour composition. Her subjects include unusual still life themes, plants and flowers as well as animals, birds, and contemporary landscapes. She is largely self-taught, but as a way to continually evolve, likes to frequently sharpen her skills and explore new ideas with short instructive courses.
Dianne sells her paintings at art shows and privately.
