Journeys
A personal journey, enhanced through travel, tells a story of a deep interest in history and cultural enlightenment reaching back in time. Architecture, ancient text, vessels, color, form and texture inform this body of work. Working in layers of oil combined with cold wax medium, I carve, excavate, re-build and develop layers of complex texture to expose marks that may or may not be visible on the final surface. The painting process takes me on a journey of cultural expression exploring the "caves" of history and connecting to ancient generations. Working intuitively, I allow the process and memories to expose the subconscious painter within. -Diane Lounsbery-Williams Diane Lounsberry-Williams was born in Bellingham Washington, and currently lives in Omaha, NE.
