Diane Hocking

Hi, I’m Di- an artist based in Melbourne Australia, creating expressive pieces that celebrate movement, emotion, and the small moments that make life feel truly lived.

I’ve been creative for as long as I can remember-drawing as a kid, painting whenever I had the chance, and always finding comfort in making things with my hands. Even now, I often find myself pausing to take in the details of nature, imagining how I’d bring them to life on canvas.

I grew up in Melbourne in a Scottish family, often feeling like the “odd one out”—the 'Aussie' with a deeply creative soul, always asked by family where it came from!

Every piece I create is original, made in my home studio. When someone connects with my work enough to bring it into their space, it genuinely means everything to me.

Thanks for being here x
