About Diana Richardson
A Vibrant Journey in Art
Based in the lively city of Brighton, my journey as an artist has been a lifelong passion. Even while building a career in financial services, art was always my constant companion. In April 2024, following a sudden redundancy, I embraced the opportunity to turn my lifelong hobby into a business. Now, I’m dedicated to sharing my love of animals and art with others through vibrant, distinctive paintings.Inspired by Animals, Driven by Creativity
Animals have always been my muse, and my work is a celebration of their essence. I studied art to A Level, where I honed the basics and explored classic techniques and styles. Over time, as my confidence and experience grew, I began to experiment more freely with bold colours, dynamic textures, and unique approaches to style. My goal? To capture the unique spirit of every animal I paint—bringing them to life in a way that sparks conversation and leaves a lasting impression.
The Magic of Mixed Media
My artistic process thrives on experimentation. I love working with mixed media and unconventional tools—like stencils made from cardboard boxes or paper cup lids. This playful, hands-on approach infuses my work with energy and character. Splashes of paint, drips, spatters, and geometric shapes add a vibrant edge to my paintings, making each piece truly unique.
The Soul of My Work: The Eyes
To me, the eyes are everything. They’re the windows to the soul and the heart of every connection. I pour countless hours into perfecting the depth and expression of the eyes in each piece, ensuring they feel alive and full of emotion. It’s through the eyes that I hope you’ll connect with my work and the incredible animals that inspire it.
Art That Brings Joy
Every painting I create is a labour of love, carefully layered to capture the vitality and spirit of my subjects. My mission is simple: to bring joy, connection, and a touch of wonder into your home with art that celebrates animals in all their beauty and energy.
