Biography
Diane Swanson is a visual artist based in the Lake George/Adirondack region; much of her work celebrates the lakes, mountains, woods and landscapes of the Northeast. The inherent poetry of nature and the push and pull of positive and negative space inspire her painting practice. Although her paintings are representational, she approaches her work with an eye to more abstract qualities, harmonizing atmosphere and movement with form, color and line.
The artist paints primarily in watercolor, often adding fine line pen or pen & ink line work to the composition after applying the paint, enhancing the forms and shifts in colors that her watercolor technique creates.
Her work has been exhibited in many juried, group and solo shows throughout the Northeast and her
landscapes and commissioned paintings have found homes with collectors all over the US. Recent juried
show acceptances and awards include the 42nd Adirondack National Exhibition of American Watercolors,
The 2023 Art of NY Annual Juried Show at the Arkell Museum in Canajoharie, 2023 Silver Award winner
in North Country Arts Annual Juried Show, Green Mountain Watercolor Exhibition 2022 & 2023, 2022
Marblehead Arts Association National Juried Exhibit with a Third Place award in the Fine Arts Category,
Vermont Watercolor Society’s 2022 & 2023 Spring Shows and 2022 Fall Awards Show. Diane also
conducts workshops, teaching artists of all levels how to enjoy watercolor as a medium.
