Formally Trained, Deeply Curious
Hi, I am Diane, a San Diego artist creating original contemporary paintings for collectors, designers, and businesses. My Bachelor of Art degree—majoring in drawing and painting with an Art History minor—deeply anchors my studio arts in classical technique, expressive composition, and profound visual storytelling.
Artistic Philosophy
I move between realism and intuitive abstraction, allowing each subject to guide my choices in color, texture, and composition. Everyday scenes, overlooked corners, and lived memories often spark a painting. My intention is to create artwork that feels authentic, quietly emotive, and rich in narrative, so viewers recognize parts of their own stories within each piece.
Artistic Vision
I transform ordinary, familiar moments into expressive, contemporary paintings that invite viewers to pause and reflect.
Local Roots
Proudly based in San Diego, I provide unique, high-impact original artwork for local collectors, galleries, and businesses worldwide.
Fluid Styles
Moving seamlessly between realism and intuitive abstraction, my diverse collections bring lasting warmth to any space.
Masterful Craftsmanship
Every unique, hand-crafted piece blends rich color, heavy texture, and authentic storytelling to engage you emotionally.
Open To Collaboration
I welcome commissions, exhibitions, and collaborations with collectors, designers, galleries, and businesses. If you have a story, space, or idea you would like to explore through original art, I would be honored to begin that conversation with you.
