Diana was born in
Waikerie, South Australia in 1943. In 1973 she was introduced to the
art of Porcelain Painting. Her personal quest for a sense of
achievement in the art world has led her to study under the likes of
Australian Teachers, Barbara Collingwood, Margaret Dixon, Josephine
Robinson and Trixie Emery and International artists such as Jean
Sadler, Mary Patusky, Paula Collins from the USA, Derek Jones from
Worcester Factory in the UK and Peter Faust from Switzerland.
During this time Diana Enjoyed a total of 15 years teaching the art
of porcelain on-glaze painting to a wide range of students from many
varied lifestyles.
In the past 10 years she has focused on further developing her own
style and expanding to mediums such as water-colour and acrylic.
Diana is proud to say that she has successfully exhibited at
Grandeur House and Potoroo at Southgate in Melbourne, Convent
Gallery in Victoria and Anthill Gallery in Broken Hill, Storison's
in Handorf, House of Prints and Tomlinson's Fine art Gallery in
Adelaide.
Since then she has been a regular invited guest to exhibit at
exhibitions at Porter Street Wildlife Gallery in Goolwa, South
Australia.
In the years 2001 - 2004, Diana has exhibited in the prestigious
Heral-Sun Camberwell Art Show and has won three 1st prizes and one
2nd prize in the porcelain section of framed on-glaze and again took
out the prize in 2006. With encouragement from Mr Herman Thumm and
his wife Inge, Diana has held successful solo exhibitions at their
Chateau Yaldara since 1988. After selling Chateau Yaldara, Mr Thumm
built the new beautiful new "Chateau Barrosa" in the Barossa Valley
and again supported her by asking her to be their rose and floral
