Diane Van Noord

We live in a magnificent natural world that compels me to express the wonder of it all through my painting. Color, texture, shape and mood inspire me as I strive to capture the essence of the landscape on the canvas or paper. In painting my impressions of a particular scene, it is my hope that others will experience some of the beauty and wonder that I feel when looking at the world around us.

Born and raised in Michigan, Diane has traveled throughout the United States. Her landscapes are impressions of the places she has visited, with her favorite subjects the coastline, the vast southwest, the midwest, as as animals and flowers. She has a BA from Hope College and a MA from Western Michigan University.

Diane has had paintings Juried in over 40 exhibitions. Among her awards are two from International Artist Magazine, Second Place in Challenge #7: Landscapes 2002 and Honorable Mention in Challenge #19: Landscapes 2004. She was an Honorable Mention winner in the Artist's Magazine 2002 Art Competition (landscape category).

Diane is an associate member of Oil Painters of America, Allied Artists, American Women Artists and National Watercolor Society. She is an elected member Arizona Watercolor and Northern Arizona Watercolor Society.
