Artists Bio: Diane Swanson is a visual artist based in the Lake George/Adirondack region; much of her work celebrates the waterways, mountains, woods and landscapes of the Northeast. The inherent poetry of nature and the push and pull of positive and negative space inspire her painting practice. Although her paintings are representational, she approaches her work with an eye to more abstract qualities, harmonizing atmosphere and movement with form, color and line.

The artist paints primarily in watercolor, often adding fine line pen or pen & ink line work to the composition after applying the paint, enhancing the forms and shifts in colors that her watercolor technique creates. She also creates works in gouache and occasionally oil and acrylic. The artist enjoys conveying stories with her imagery; even a simple landscape can tell a subtle tale.

Her work has been exhibited in many juried, group and solo shows throughout the Northeast and her landscapes and commissioned paintings have found homes with collectors all over the US. The artist welcomes painting commissions – she creates custom portraits of homes, buildings, animals, memorable scenes and favorite views. Diane also conducts workshops, teaching artists of all levels how to enjoy watercolor as a medium.
