Diana has since won over 20 awards and her works have been published on several occasions in the Australian Artists Magazine. Her works can be seen in several leading galleries around Australia or from her home studio gallery.
Her talent and uniqueness are revealed in her final works which have found their home in important corporate and private collections both in Australian and overseas.

ARTIST STATEMENT
I use either watercolour on paper or Gauche on Gesso Board.
The inspiration behind my work comes from the old masters particularly of the Heidelberg School. I really appreciate the way they tried always to capture light. I am always inspired by light and love the morning or afternoon light and shade the shadows may cast. I love to walk through the city at these times of day and seeing shadows on the old buildings gives me a very strong desire to capture this magic on paper or canvas.
