About the Artist

"Only through art can stories be captured without words"         Diana Shannon Young


"My  work transcends the familiar to the abstract thus provoking a dialogue . 

Art is the way to embed a story in the  conscience or soul of the viewer

  In my practice,  I seek to examine and celebrate the journeys of life ,

 revealing the destiny  of  intricate and hidden  paths,  creatively converged

 to  convey unspoken stories.


 Primarily self directed, I have an unapologetic preference,  that my creativity

 be uninhibited and unrestricted  by structured discipline.  My destiny is to create .

 My faith keeps me on my journey  of manifestation.   The evolution of my

  journey assures me that my work is on a ubiquitous path."  

An Entrepreneur at heart she has owned several galleries  furthering her knowledge

 of fine art  as a collector all the while honoring her artistic

 techniques through continued education with workshops, tutorials with

 accomplished artist and observation of the works of the masters, thus inspiring 

her unique style.


Her Figurative  paintings imbue spirit, struggle, inspirations and dreams . 

  However, it is texture and color that intrigues her most.  the use of varied mediums 

to create texture and occasional use of fabric, photos or periodicals to create

 nostalgia or implications in her figurative work can be educational and intriguing. 

 Her non-figurative abstracts and florals dance with texture and soft vibrant

t hues often morphing from the familiar to the abstract.

Artist Statement

"Only through Art can Stories be captured without Words."Life stories of pain, isolation, joy, unity. I am always intrigued by the effects of cultural and societal messages on everyday life. I seek, through my practice and each series that I create, whether figurative or abstract, to explore the impact of these messages through my choice of surfaces, textures and forms that imbue bold or monochromatic color to command the attention of the viewer. Heavy pigmented acrylic applied over a textured surface of thick watercolor paper or canvas on a large scale permeate my most recent practice. This includes, several series dominated by collage work and occassional use of pastel, paint markers and india inks for detail and additional texture. "An incurable optimist, my works portray the stories of cultural and societal life as I encounter it and when it resonates with your conscious, heart or soul my story with you is a success"Diana Shannon Young
