I am curious and experimental by nature and my daily art practice includes an intuitive and eclectic painting style. Being a fearless painter I allow myself the presence to let the paint flow, taking a course of its own and directing the traffic that becomes my art. I am as adventurous and spirited in my art as I am in my life. I am easily bored and must create in order to have a meaning in my life.<\/p>\n<p>Originally from Saskatchewan, I embrace the abundance of nature which is the underlying inspiration that informs my work. There is nothing that can be made that nature hasn\u2019t already perfected. I steep myself in colour and I paint mostly in oil, usually in an abstract manner. When the spirit moves me I utilize mixed media, and I have been known to include collage elements, resin, inks and encaustic applications as well. Colour, line and form direct my process of layering paint, building texture, moving and removing paint and balancing the composition as it begins to emerge on the canvas, until I find the combination that expresses my inner voice. My inner voice can change from day to day so a painting usually is transformed a number of times before it is uniquely and decidedly my own.<\/p>\n<p>I have migrated from spending most of my life on the Prairies in Saskatchewan to Vancouver and since 2021 to Limoilou in Quebec City. In Vancouver I had a very engaged studio practice as an active member of Razstone Studio and the North Vancouver Arts Council. I participated in the East Side Culture Crawl from 2010-2021. I take commissions for conceptual art and portraiture. My work has been shown extensively in Western Canada and sold internationally.<\/p>\n<p>You can view my art online\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.saatchiart.com\/diannaburns\">here<\/a>.
