“I began life in Québec, as a classical musician surrounded by artists. In 1990, high in the mountains of California, I became fascinated with the role of light in the perception of nature.”

Inspired by Picasso Still Life drawings and the softness of Renoir paintings, Diana developed her own unique technique of hand-colouring fiber-based black and white silver gelatin prints. She has received grants from Ontario Arts Council, Hamilton Arts Council, Toronto Arts Council, the Canadian Association of Photographers and Illustrators in Communications (CAPIC), and the Applied Arts Photography Award from Applied Arts Magazine.

Diana completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts program with a focus in Photography from Rochester Institute of Technology, New York. She also has a Bachelor of Arts from Queen’s University and a Digital Printing & Imaging Certificate from Toronto Image Works.

Her work has been featured in several publications such as Mosaic Magazine, Applied Arts Magazine, Ontario Arts Council Annual Report, and Globe & Mail.

Diana is a member of the Ontario Society of Artists and the Society of Canadian Artists, among others.
