Diana Bunting is a contemporary "plein air painter."
She is interested in freely interpreting changing weather conditions and light. The sweep and
grandeur of the Shenandoah Valley and the rocky coast of Rhode Island are
her most frequent subjects. An admirer of the Canadian painter, Thom
Thomson, Bunting uses short periods of time to try to simplify and capture
the moment in a painting: "I do not hesitate to try several approaches to a
particular subject, to wipe out and scrape off a canvas and start again.
The unexpected is often most successful."
Born and raised in South America, she was educated at Hollins
University, the Sorbonne and Ecole du Louvre. Her works hang in private
collections in the United States, Peru, Argentina, Canada and Uruguay.
