In early years, the challenging Art of Batik Painting was Diane's chosen medium of expression.
Over the decades, she has found a style of painting that incorporates the combined elements
of acrylic paint and fabrics. Recently, her paintings have evolved once again into a more abstract style that uses lines, colors and textures to "breathe in" the feeling of movement.
Diane is an active member of NAWA (National Association of Women Artists), the Westerly Co-op Art Gallery in Westerly, R.I. and LICartists in LIC, NY.
