Diane Fuchs

"Ever since I can remember, I have been drawing and painting. My first documented drawing, at the age of 3 1/2, actually won the weekly prize in the kids’ corner of a local newspaper. It was called “A boy walking his dog in the grass. Also a bird in a tree.” As I grew up, my sisters and I took great delight in drawing, especially pictures of families. Art lessons with a local artist, Huber King, at age 10, launched my formal art pursuit, which continued through high school and into college, where I studied graphic design and illustration, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. I worked in the commercial art world for several years before pursuing a career as a stay-at-home mother. Art took a backseat for a few decades until they flew from the nest. Now I am happily pursuing my first interest: making paintings of things that I love: nature, animals, people, flowers, food, landscapes, as well as whimsical illustrations. I like to work in many different mediums, including watercolor, colored pencil, pastel, oils, acrylics, and graphite. I hope viewing my colorful, detailed artwork brings you joy! If you are interested in commissioning me for a painting, please email me at dianefuchsart@gmail.com."
