Diana says 

 "I love to paint, I love to paint quickly, and to play with paint and I enjoy different media and the possibilities that each offers. Each of the media that I use have different methods and results however they all cross over and influence each other. 

 

Recently I have been experimenting, with good results,  abstract paintings in Sumi-e [Japanese ink paintings].  Sumi-e tends to be very traditional so this is a wonderful adventure. This is a direct result of my new work in mixed media. 

I believe in enjoying the process of painting and the product is just a bonus."

Colin says

"In an attempt to counteract too much doing and over-analyzing I paint to be more mindful and present to the beauty of our world. It is for me a spiritual exploration. At the easel I attempt to express myself and enliven my subject matter with colour. I love art history, and am inspired by a wide range of artists past and present. Chagall, Klimt, Hunderwasser,Van Gogh, Picasso and many more are sources of inspiration. As I paint and draw more, I find myself becoming more experimental with media and more abstract. My favourite media is acrylic , mostly for health reasons, but I love oil for many reasons. Art is an awesome way to explore life’s journey and hopefully bring some wonder to others. Let’s keep on creating"
