Born and raised in London, Diane graduated in 1988 and has worked in ceramics ever since. She has many years of teaching experience but committed full time to her artistic practice in 2015 and works from her studio in Northamptonshire.
Diane moved from London to North Yorkshire where she continued her work with clay and began teaching ceramics while also raising her children. In 2007 she moved to Towcester in Northamptonshire where she set up a much larger studio which has enabled her to expand and develop her practice.
Over the years, Diane has taken part in many shows and exhibitions both nationally and internationally. She is currently represented by Thrown Contemporary, London and featured on their stand at London Art Fair in 2020. These experiences have enabled her to meet and connect with new collectors and audiences worldwide.
Diane continues to develop her practice and her unique visual language in ceramics. This language is defined by contrast in texture, colour and weight which are used to create poetic tensions in the work.
