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, “The sky in New Mexico lifts 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, being awed at sunset. If a painting holds my gaze for a long time and I feel joy, peace or wonder, then I believe others will feel it, too.”

Diane joined the Santa Fe Society of Artists in 2018 and joins the group for outdoor shows from mid-April to mid-October. See dates and locations at santafesocietyofartists.com.
