Trained to take it in, interpret and move with expression…be it with colours, words, dance, lomi lomi, song.

How it works is this… Diana solo or together  in partnership collaboration with designers or clients set up a planned structure.  This is a setting and an agreement  stating the texture of the piece or the tone of the session.  Holding what is given to her, referential images  perhaps in hand, Diana feels the emotionality within the content..the body of work.   Then, with technique and intuition, she enters this opened space.  She brings clear presence and  transforms as she works.   She creates lyrical, textured, expressive, and sensitive naturalistic works in whichever art form Diana engages with.

Always  poetic and with a precious understanding of kind honest heart and deep caring,  Diana’s vision and visceral voice, also known as her creative fire,  arrives as warmth finding balance with the individual as well as the overall vision of a collective of artists or influences.
