Diana Robinson

Diana Robinson’s journey began after finding a large box of oil paints, brushes and canvases at an estate sale. She dabbled in basic drawing and painting classes with local teachers once a week, and then followed the path of many hours of self-practice and daily painting leading to workshops and learning from the masters.

I wonder why people get that feeling of intimidation when walking into art

galleries. Often questioning if they know enough about art. The truth is, it’s

that viewer who gets to empower art by deciding if the artwork will be

given a life outside the gallery!  I hope you will find the peace in my art that

will empower you and in turn, will provide you a lifetime of joy.

Diana has studied under local artists Judy McCombs, Ted Majka, Dennis Parker, Mike Wimmer, Rick McClure and Carla Anglada.   She has also taken workshops from well-known artists David Leffel, Sherry McGraw, Daniel Keys, Caroline Anderson, Jacqueline Kaman, Kathy Anderson, Robert Johnson, Quang Ho, Loren Entz, Andrew Johnson, Derrick Penix, Greg Beecham,
