Diane G. Kell is a painter of acrylic landscapes and cloudscapes. She grew up in the Midwest and South, left for college in New England, graduated from Brown (A.B. Art History), then lived in Massachusetts during a long career as an educational researcher.
Diane moved to Santa Fe in 2001 and was quickly captivated by the region’s beautiful skies. She says, “Even after a tragedy, the sky lifted my spirits. Now, as an artist I aim to do the same for others. I imagine them waking to a sunrise feeling hopeful, seeing promise in a rainbow, wandering among clouds, feeling transcendent at sunset. I’m happy with a painting if it holds my gaze. If it makes me feel joy, peace or wonder, I believe others will feel it, too.”
Diane joined the Santa Fe Society of Artists in 2018 and participates in their outdoor shows one-half block from the Santa Fe plaza nearly every weekend, mid-April to mid-October.
All works on this site are original acrylic paintings. Most are on cradled canvas with the painted image continuing on all sides. Some are on cradled or framed panels, as noted in captions.
Diane accepts commissions with no down payment. Please ask!
