" I strive to create the clarity that defines a special work of art for me, whether in the pose of a formal portrait, the brushwork in a still life, or in a composition that hints at a story. I want a painting to have a quiet drama that is striking but subtle enough not to grow stale over time. If I am going to freeze time, I want that time to be enduring."

After a career as a psychotherapist, Diane returned to her early love of painting in the late 1990's. She studied portraiture, figure and color with painters Bonnie Roth Anderson, John Ebersberger, David Lawton, and Abigail McBride, sculptor Stephen Perkins, and nationally renowned portrait painters, Cedric and Joanette Egeli, at their studios in Edgewater and at the Cape Cod School of Art in Provincetown.
