Q:
What is the inspiration for your 12x12 piece?
Diana Smith: I have chosen a very warm, but
bright palette, reminding me of the colors of the New Mexico landscape then
interjected the wild wolf into this landscape. My vision is to create a
pleasant, comforting place, while portraying the dignity and presence of the
canine.
Q:
As a mixed media artist, is there a particular medium you prefer above the
others?
DS: This new body of work feels like a
cleansing. I have put aside collage and mixed media which were incorporated in
my work for years. Now I’m concentrating on paint, only including a few lines
of suggestion with charcoal. I am delving back into abstract composition, where
my formal training began, and adding just a touch of figurative.
