Diana Booth
The South Hams, Devon, has been my home for many years. After a teaching career I returned to painting with renewed vision and energy exploring a vibrant approach to my art. The local landscape and coastal areas are incredibly beautiful filling me with awe and inspiration to paint.
Delighting in the flexibility, malleability and rich colour of oils, I paint in a contemporary energetic style. I enjoy using a palette knife and experimenting with various ways of applying the paint to achieve the desired effect: knives, brushes, rags and fingers all come into play! My work evolves as I constantly strive to capture the essence of my subject and experiment with different approaches.
Regular exhibitions in South Devon have included the Ariel Centre in Totnes, Harbour House in Kingsbridge, The Barn Gallery at Greenway National Trust (solo), SHAF Arts Trail, The Loft Studio at Salcombe, Bistro One in Plymouth (solo) , The First Floor at Avon Mill, Birdwood House in Totnes,(group and solo) Artizan, Torquay, The Flavel at Dartmouth (solo), Salcombe Contemporary Art Fair, Tidal Gallery, Kingsbridge, Ringrose, Modbury, The White Hart, Modbury (solo) and the RAMM Gallery, Exeter.
