Artist Statement:
Diane explores the outer
limits of our earthly
existence by looking upwards
to the heavens. She captures
the awesome power of clouds
building, swirling and
threatening to unleash their
pent up energies on the frail
human structures clinging to a
thin veneer of land below.
The land is an abstract
footnote to the paintings;
overwhelmed by the size and
scope of the skies. The human
structures, in turn, are
clinging tentatively to the
lower edge of the paintings,
leaving the impression that
they could be sucked up into
the maelstrom that is
developing overhead in the
clouds. The clouds draw our
attention into their dark
centers where raw power and
energy is offset by whimsical
wisps of sunlit vapor away
from the stormy center. An
attempt to capture local color
is merely the examination of
light differences depending on
one's toehold on earth....
