Self-taught and hailing from the Midlands, I moved to Newquay in 2017. Working part-time as an artist I have work on display in UK galleries as well as online.

Winner of ‘The People’s Choice Award’ 2024 in The British Art Prize I’m currently exploring the theme of ‘The Colour of Night’ - how natural and man-made light can transform a landscape; dialling up colours normally unusual to that landscape.

Working in a mixed media of acrylic, oil and enamel I enjoy playing with colour and texture. I love the challenge of representing something in a different way; taking from life, memory and imagination.

"For a truly heartwarming read, go to the interview with this year's British Art Prize People's Choice winner, Diane Griffiths. Her painting, 'Driving Home, got voted for in the thousands, not least because her Cornish community came together to support her after she appeared on the radio to drum up just that. Proof once more of the power of art to connect and inspire."
