Diana Amos Bermudian, born 1942



artist statement
In my paintings I like to explore the relationship between the textures of man-made structures and natural forms and the interplay of light and shadows over surfaces. I find visual stimulation in ordinary places. I want the viewer to feel as though there are real people and things around the corners.
