Immerse yourself in Diane's love and appreciation of the calmness and order of Japanese culture. Bring the beauty of her work
into your world. Not just "pretty pictures", these paintings ask you
to step quietly into a different world in which simple things are the most beautiful. Where nature tells a story and you can feel and find the invisible in the visible. Some of these paintings show what appear to be stitches. These are the (painted) stitches of Sashiko, a 400 year old traditional Japanese style of stitching. First for durability and restoration of clothing , using geometric patterns and designs symbolising elements of nature. Now and for a long time, Sashiko has become a refined art form.
