Artist Roster

Hi, it’s Diana, aka. Life Beneath the Pines. I am inspired by the repetition, pattern, texture, rhythm, and yumminess, I find in nature, baking, literature, and textiles, and I practice translating that into photographs, mixed media paintings, and quilts.

My art is conceptual, accessible, quirky, and has been called “cute”. There’s a story behind each piece. I’d love to hear what story you find or to share my story with you.

Currently, I have a series of distorted portraits inspired by the challenged book In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak, a series of abstracted florals inspired by the three-song playlist: “I Can’t Stand the Rain” by Tina Turner, “Come to My Window” by Melissa Etheridge, and “Coming Home” by Ulali, a series of black and white photographs inspired by texture in nature, and old denim repurposed into crazy quilt(s).
