Solo Exhibition of Paintings Poppies and Bowls: an Odd MixThey were hanging from the kitchen cupboard door. They were a gift given from one person to another, and then to me. The skeletal structure, brittle and grayed with time – it was an opportunity to explore that I couldn’t pass by. As each painting came to completion a title was required. I decided to search out the names for “poppy” in Latin, Greek, French and Spanish – perhaps to give the viewer an excuse to linger over the painting a little longer. While I was working, steadily exploring the poppy image, I had an impulse, on which I needed to follow through. You can’t ignore inspiration. It won’t come back -- it will take its gift somewhere else. The first bowl, Rice Bowl appeared. It is a loose confident gesture. And then, while completing the Hidden Triptych, another bowl. More Please is a painting done in the same palette but darker in mood without the reflected light found in the triptych. Although not related, the poppy and the bowl hang side by side because inspiration is not linear and will present odd juxtapositions to be understood at a later date. Then again, maybe not.

"apPEARance"... at Tango Palace,
Toronto, Ontario, This exhibition was inspired in the fall of 1998, when Diana was given two bags of pears picked from the trees growing around her aunt's country home. Taken with the pears' shapes and colours when they were rolled onto a table, she explored them -- first with her camera then with sketches and acrylics -- resulting in the work you see now.
