Art born under the Tucson sky

Original paintings, drawings, and ceramics shaped by rolling desert clouds. And classes where anyone can get wonderfully messy.

The artist

Decades of creating, teaching, and connecting

Diane holds a BFA from the University of Arizona and a Master's in Education, with certifications in Special Education, Gifted Education, and Art. Her work has shown at the University of Arizona Art Museum, Hotel Congress, and Camelback Gallery.

What inspires her most is the Tucson sky: the drifting clouds that change shape before they dissipate, the light that never repeats itself twice.

“By embracing the unpredictable physical act of creation, experiences become visual stories that honor resilience and foster compassion. There is power in getting messy.”
