I'll Show You Mine..

Hi and welcome to my studio – ‘Diana’s Art’ and of course that’s me! 

A bit about me, I share a house in Dublin with my daughter Liza, who works in the City, Hubby works in America and I only get to see him three or four times a year, so I have plenty of time to paint and garden. I moved to Dublin after a year in the US before that, Spain and Germany and originally England so you could say I’ve been around!
I love Dublin because it’s small in comparison to many capitol cities and feels much friendlier and there’s a lot to see and do here and easy to get around in too.

My studio space is in our third bedroom and is rather bijou especially as I am a bit chaotic when I work. I bought a desk and a table from good old IKEA, they have had them wherever I have lived and I love them. There’s just room enough for computer,printer, paints, easels and me. I tend to cover myself in paint, don’t know how! And most of my clothes have the odd blob of colour here and there. I paint mainly in oils but also like to play around with acrylics, watercolour and pastels.

I like to paint lots of different subjects from kids to kittens, portraits to landscapes, still life to abstracts. I fell in love with painting while living in Spain and haven’t stopped since. I started out painting in watercolour, went on to acrylic paints and now oils and my goal is to keep on improving and selling my paintings.

 You Dubliners probably recognise the above bridge! 

I love Etsy, it is the greatest selling venue, I have tried at least 10 other sites and didn’t sell a thing on them (I still keep a couple) Sales are uncomplicated and always a thrill to get, I would recommend  Etsy to anybody and I have!
