Diane Black

Diane Black is a multi-disciplinary Kingston artist and arts educator who began her training in the field of illustration and spent many years in the commercial art world. She has a full-time studio practice where sculpture is the primary focus. She also enjoys drawing, painting and printmaking.

In Diane’s work you’ll find an exploration of life’s subtle (or not so subtle) moods through the expressive, unguarded faces and gestures; mostly amusing, sometimes dark, always a reflection of real life. Humour is often used to create a point of connection between the artist and viewer, a way of dropping defences so that observations can be made in a revealing but unthreatening way. Her work has been exhibited in Galleries throughout Ontario and can be found in private collections both in Canada and internationally.
