After a successful international business career Diane returned to art gaining a BA (Hons) and Masters degree in Fine Art. It was from this period that her contemporary and unusual style of painting developed. Using a variety of mediums and supports to form beautiful compositions, bright, colourful and dynamic original pieces are created. She uses vibrant colours, which take on a jewel like intensity through the use of a deep gloss finish. Often representational images are portrayed from an usual aspect or figurative elements are abstracted to create contemporary and striking imagery.

Her expressive and very different dog portraits are just one element of this exciting artists work.
