What does she think? Print

Diane Cunliffe began expressing her artistic gift shortly after immigrating from South Africa to New Zealand in August 1980. It was her instant longing for Africa. For the diverse beauty & vibrant colors, the richness of life & cultures and for the feeling of vastness that emanated with such poise from her Motherland. As a self taught artist Diane speaks of her life as if viewing through the eye of a camera. She is constantly living life in frames of color, form and texture and interpreting what would produce a moving painting. Diane explains that each "˜works' embodies a different energy and therefore a different technique or flow. Once open to the creative forces it is as if the spirit of the painting just moves through her. Diane's work is captivating on many levels. Not only is her art full of the richness of color and form but each painting captures the essence of a potent moment. At times the subtlety of her suggestive strokes creates motion which enlivens the painting with atmosphere, stimulates the senses & creates a meaningful relationship between the viewer and the painting Each painting is a journey without having to go anywhere.
