DIANA HAND

Instructor

I have been an artist all my life. I trained in classical drawing at the Ruskin School of Art, Oxford, and in contemporary art at Glasgow School of Art. I have worked in many different media, including textile painting, printmaking, drawing and painting. Horses are my main inspiration. There is something magical about their character and their beauty which always sparks my creativity. I kept horses for many years and have a deep appreciation of their wisdom and intuition as well as their power and grace.

“"A very good course - it has made think a lot and I have been inspired to create a large mural, starting with stencils of four horses and taking it from there, using chalk paint and acrylic paint (note from Diana - this is a beautiful work) Thank you. ”
