Diane
Whitehead is an avid outdoors woman and a self
taught artist.
She is highly praised for her strong brushstrokes
and bold use of color;
both of which make her work come alive. Diane paints
what she loves
best; nature and animals. Her flowers and landscapes
reflect the moods of the western mountains she calls
home and her animals look you in the eye with a majesty
and gentleness that create an instant bond. At once
elegant and whimsical, Diane’s
animals touch our soul and our sense of humor.
Born in Spokane,
Washington, Diane began to paint earnestly when an
uncle gave her his set of oil paints. One of eight
children, she found painting to be her most
treasured “quiet time”. Originally determined to be
a veterinarian, Diane feels she has combined her
love of animals and oil paint to make the perfect
marriage of creativity.Diane is a
full-time artist working from her studio in Park
City and when the weather allows, a plein-air
painter in the mountains she loves. She has
participated in workshops with Reid Galey, Carolyn
Anderson and Jove Wang and continues to pursue new
techniques for her creative expression. Diane is a
juried, award winning artist with collectors around
the world and is represented in Park City, Utah by
the Redstone Gallery.
