Di Woods
Diane Woods – born in Toowoomba then family moved to Brisbane. English, Irish and a touch of French ancestry.
Diane has always been a dreamer, loved colour and fashion and adored the old films when women were feminine and dressed with style. Being ‘queen of the kids’ she always drew funny pictures for friends and neighbours children’s parties.
Life got busy and involved but after finishing work Diane was free to explore and discover what she would like to do that makes her happy. Diane attended some acrylic and oil art classes and decided acrylic was her choice of medium. Having only been painting for a few years she felt happiest painting colourful animated ladies and animals. Not wanting to stress over perspective, light, depth and the rest it became apparent that she found her niche.
I guess her style is Naïve art to a degree. She has no notable awards to brag about. She is a happy and an easy going person. Her paintings of roosters wearing socks will always bring a smile to your face.
