A brief bio. Diane, a native of Massachusetts, also enjoys a home on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Brought up in a family of artists, writers and musicians, she has been immersed in the arts since childhood. An alumna of Bennington College and Boston University's School of Fine Arts, she holds a BFA and MFA in painting with a minor in creative writing. Diane also studied Creative Expression through Art at the Jung Institute in Boston, MA.

She studied painting with the late Kenneth Callahan and Philip Guston; and admires O'Keefe, Frankenthaler, Hartung, Rembrandt, Matisse, Monet, Deibenkorn, Hockney, and Ansel Adams; writers Sorley Maclean, Dylan Thomas, W.B.Yeats and Anna Akhmatova. Folk, blues, classical music and opera also inspire Diane's work. The Scottish Colourists, Fauvists, and American West Coast & Southwest painters also influence Diane's process.

French journalist Chantal Tochou wrote "Artists with Diane... express themselves freely with color which sings with love...". Articles about An Artist's Life™ have also appeared in American Artist's Watercolor Magazine (7 pages, full colour), Victoria Magazine, US Airways Magazine, the Boston Globe, and a syndicated article in over 50 publications including the San Francisco Chronicle and the Washington Post.
