Her work has been shown at solo exhibitions and art fairs in London, as well as group shows in London, Kent, Hertfordshire and Wales. In 2022 Diana’s work has been selected for the prestigious international competition and exhibition ‘Wales Contemporary 2022’.
Diana has been inspired by the observation of places in her immediate neighbourhood in North London. Diana admires everchanging colour, light and the dramatic scenery presented by nature, often in the context of a suburban landscape. She reflects on the change of the emotive response of the viewer to the same places depending on the time of day, weather, season, as well as one’s mood, imagination, narrative and/or personal experience. Diana records what she has seen and experienced, capturing local scenes that she thought were beautiful visually and/or emotionally, such as the local park, the open space, streets and roads of Mill Hill.
