Artist Statement:
I am drawn to dramatic curves and leading lines – but thrive on the challenge of showcasing rich colours and glowing light. At first it was the juicy colours of these local hibiscus that caught my eye (hence the fruity titles). Upon setting them in a jar, I noticed the velvety texture of the light raking across the petals, and the way the light shining through the glass and water created worlds, swirls and flares of drama. I have offered several views of this small bloom in a simple vessel, zoomed to fill the canvas, so the viewer may share that experience.

Artist Bio:
Diana Marshall is an emerging artist based in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley.

Diana’s work combines the tempo of modern acrylics with the tradition of stretched canvas. She enjoys unlocking the secrets of various media and techniques to continue her growth as an artist. She amplifies what she learns from these creative experiments into her paintings through her compositions, brush marks, colour and light effects.

Diana’s subjects include still life, the natural environment, and favourite views of her community and travels. She lives in Mission, B.C. with her partner, their two teens, and the family poodle, Indigo. When not in her home studio, she can be found in the garden, the public library, or plotting alternative futures with her fellow creatives.
