About the Artist
Diana Vincent’s passion for art began with pencil-drawing horses as a young girl, but she did not pick up a paint brush until decades later. After twenty years traveling as a military spouse, Diana and her family settled at a horse farm in coastal North Carolina, where the beauty of the coast and the dream of living with her own horses began fueling her inspiration. Her paintings depict wildlife, local sea/landscapes, the faces & places from her many travels, and of course horses. Now an established artist, Diana is a self-taught with no formal art education or training, and loves to share art in community events. Less than 10 years into painting, her signature detailed style has been recognized through juried shows, international competitions, local publications and numerous awards. “Getting lost in the details is what motivates me to paint”. Diana’s love for wildlife and her proximity to the ocean continually inspire her to depict sea animals in her paintings and advocate for the fragile state of these magnificent creatures.
In addition to the very detailed acrylic paintings Diana is known for, she also creates large abstract mixed media fluid pieces. After years of experimentation and embracing unconventional techniques and products, she pushes the boundaries to create unexpected outcomes that represent a stunning blend of scientific reaction and artistic composition. These pieces have hung in local galleries and are sought after for commissions. “I enjoy the fact that art is always evolving and that abstract fluid-art appeals to so many art collectors for its very contemporary feel with earthy, atmospheric and aquatic qualities.” Her work often combines the magic of fluid-art in the form of a background, while featuring a detailed painting of marine life on top.
