Born and raised on the east coast of the U.S., Diana first experienced Maui on a Henry J. Scheidt traveling scholarship upon graduating from Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art in Philadelphia. Much of Diana’s work is focused on elemental forms of matter as she searches for that “perfect moment of order that can occur in the midst of chaos”. Her deep commitment has made Diana a master in the fusion of watercolor and pastel, creating paintings with visceral impact.
Her bold, luminous and atmospheric landscapes as well as her exploration of virtual media place her in the fore front of the Contemporary art scene.
“Exploring light and space in movement, within natural phenomena and the patterns that result, is a predominant theme in my work. At times my subject is epic; other times I find my trove in subtler happenings. Although I am sometimes drawn to the dramatic, I have learned that great drama is taking place all the time in nature, even in the subtlest of happenings.”
