About : Diane Paton Peel

Diane was born in Seattle, Washington. Her early years were spent in Stehekin, Washington at the head of lake Chelan where she attended the old Stehekin School, a one-room log school house. After several years in Alaska, she lived in Whitehorse, Yukon for 25 years. Her sweeping landscapes of the Northwest's mountains and vineyards, and the wildflower Fireweed are exclusively rendered in oils. So are her dramatic and lush floral paintings. Her greatest source of inspiration comes from hiking, looking at nature first hand, and sometimes painting on location.

"My art is a celebration of nature," she says.

Diane's work was on display at the Yukon Pavilion at Expo '86 and is in the collections of the Yukon Territorial Government, City of Whitehorse, Andrew Phillipsen Law Center, Northwestel, and Yukon College. Her art training includes a course at the Banff School of Fine Arts, and workshops with Lilias Farley, James Marshall, Alan Wylie and Steve Mills. Many of her oils have been published in the form of limited edition prints, cards and posters. Diane's work is available in original oil. She resides in Penticton, British Columbia.
