Diane Black  

Diane Black is a Kingston artist 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 and teaching.

“I like to think that in its essence, my work is about story telling. The visual narratives that emerge may be personal, fantastic, contemplative, ridiculous or simply about my relationship with the materials, particularly my fascination with clay.

In my work I hope 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 artist and viewer, a way of dropping defences so that observations can be made in a revealing but unthreatening way. My work has been exhibited in Galleries throughout Ontario and can be found in private collections both in Canada and internationally.”
