About the Artist
Diana Vincent’s interest in art began with pencil-drawing horses as a little 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 she is inspired by the beauty of the coast. Her paintings often depict wildlife, local sea/landscapes, the faces & places from her many travels, and of course horses. Diana is a self-taught artist with no formal art education or training, and loves to share art in her local community. Less than 10 years into painting, her signature detailed style has been recognized through juried shows, international competitions, local publications and multiple awards. “Getting lost in the details is what first inspired me to paint. If you enjoy detailed artwork, please visit my art locally at Art Exposure in Hampstead, and Fine Art Local (inside Artworks) in Wilmington.” Diana’s love for wildlife and her proximity to the ocean continually inspire her to depict sea animals in her paintings helping to magnify awareness 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 fluid-art pieces. After years of experimentation and embracing unconventional techniques and products, she pushes the boundaries to create unexpected outcomes in mixed-media pieces that represent a stunning blend of scientific reaction and artistic composition. These pieces have hung in local galleries and are sought after for commissions particularly her embellished diptychs and triptychs. “I enjoy the fact that art is always evolving and that 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.
