About DIANA

As a lifelong award-winning artist who became legally blind with partial vision 20 years ago, my work has evolved through adapting to changing ways of seeing. My imagery is often figurative, but moves between representation, abstraction, intuition, and spiritual feeling. I am drawn to imagery that feels layered, expressive, and slightly otherworldly.

My practice includes acrylic painting, mixed media, collage, and digital processes. Vision loss led me to develop new approaches to image-making that blend painting, collage, abstraction, and digital processes. In recent work, I have been exploring the relationship between hand-made marks and technology, including how digital imagery can be altered, interrupted, and transformed through physical process.

I hold a B.A. in Art from West Chester University, an M.Ed. in Art Education from Tyler School of Art, and an MFA in Painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art. My work has been exhibited in museums, galleries, and institutions nationwide, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Delaware Art Museum, and Trenton City Museum, and is held in public and private collections worldwide.

I live in the Philadelphia suburbs in a 200-year-old house with my husband and two fur babies.
