Diane has been capturing and reproducing exquisite photographic images for over twenty years. As one of the first Canadian photographers to sense the disappearing beauty of Mediterranean colours as expressed in the homes, buildings and cafes of the small European towns and villages, she was also one of the first Canadians to capture that beauty using high resolution camera equipment and film.

It was only a short step forward, then, for her to reproduce these painterly images in an affordable and manageable medium, the large format print, in order to allow others to experience and share that beauty in their daily lives.

How does she do it? It starts with the eye," she says. "When I see the quality of light as it dances off the subjects and brings them to life, a composition is only moments away."

Camera angles create visual excitement. Whether she's photographing a door, a stairway or a lone occupant musing in a cafe, one cannot help but share what she is feeling towards her subject. She is able to transform the apparently simple images she is exploring through the lens of her camera into artistic compositions that redound with imagination.

Diane studied at the University of Manitoba, the Banff School of Fine Arts and the University of Toronto.

She and her family reside in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
