Diana Amos Bermudian, born 27 October 1942

artist statement
My paintings are nearly always inspired by colours, textures and light that I study in nature. I love the interplay of colours in sunshine and shadows and the way that light bounces colour from one plane to another, changing the appearance of colours and values in unexpected ways.
