Diana studied Textile Design at Hornsey College of Art, and from 1973 designed home textiles with Cavendish Textiles, part of the John Lewis Partnership. Later she was employed as an interior furnishing designer for John Lewis, working with clients and architects in the domestic and contract fields.

Her textile design career informs her painting.  She has always loved classical architecture, and enjoys painting unusual perspectives of buildings. Overseas travel provided her with the vibrant light and colours which inspire her. Diana enjoys looking for pattern and design in quite ordinary subjects.

Since painting full-time, she has taken part in Bucks Art Weeks since 1998, and her watercolours have been selected for exhibition in London’s Mall Galleries by the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour, the Society of Women Artists, and the Royal Society of Marine Artists.

Diana’s work has featured in galleries both locally and further afield and is in private collections world-wide.

Diana was elected to membership of the Bucks Art Society in 2016.
