ANTICIPATIOn
The myth of Daphne has always fascinated Diana as it speaks to our innate desire to dissolve into the world, to become a voyeur, to be part of something much larger than us. Her first painting from this series was stolen from her college thesis studio, so it garnered attention even in her 20's. This piece is striking due to its splatter paint technique that translates the feeling of fleeting cherry blossoms so well!

TORMENTOFDAPHNE
This was the first piece in this series, the one that explored the visceral feeling of a woman turning into a tree. One can feel the agony of limbs turning into branches, skin drying up in awe in disbelief. There're contradicting emotions here. On one hand, there's eternity at stake, on another - the loss of human connection and touch.
