About "On the Zambezi"
I take much of my inspiration from the natural landscape. I spent a wonderful week on the Zambezi a few years ago and the impression of the place still remains with me. I had been while sorting through some photographs and I was suddenly drawn to painting from my happy memories of that magical place.

About Di
I love to paint an idea rather than reality. My work is loose, in vibrant, bright colours. Bold brush strokes excite me. My way of working has evolved over many years, and for a long time now I have painted every day. I paint a variety of subjects from landscape to figures, mainly in acrylics, inks and watercolours. It is the flow and excitement of these media which inspire me. My art encompasses who I am: always looking for new challenges and new ways of expressing myself.
I have a bold and dynamic approach to the creation of a new painting. I take my inspiration from a landscape or an element from nature, and I internalise the image. The image becomes a feeling, then an idea in my mind which I translate onto canvas using bold brush strokes and bright, vibrant colours. I then step back, I contemplate and compare with the idea in my head. I refine, I rework parts of the canvas until I am satisfied. And if, on viewing the painting the observer gets a sense of that feeling, I am gratified.
I am a prolific artist and even though my work is constantly evolving I have an individual and recognisable style. I love to experiment so that I can grow as an artist. I am always open to new ideas and techniques and am keen to be more involved with the contemporary art scene.
