I’m Diane, a London based artist, wife and mum of two girls. I paint bright and beautiful art inspired by a style popular in the 18th Century called Chinoiserie, pronounced ‘shin-waa-zuh-ree’. I became particularly interested in antique Chinoiserie wallpapers, for their bright bold patterns and scenic storytelling. During a trip to China I learnt the unique skill of watercolour painting using natural Chinese brushes on silk paper. I pay meticulous attention to achieving beautiful blended gradients which give my paintings a sense of depth, as well as ultra fine details using precision brushes. I collect inspiration from historical reference books, Asian art and ancient techniques, to adapt these classic designs for modern interiors. I make one of a kind silk wallpapers, hand-painted murals and original artworks for luxury interiors, hotels and private residences. I work with both private clients as well as some of the world’s leading interior design teams. My tailored service means the client’s needs are met at every stage of the design process, from initial idea discussions to samples and final sign off. I take great pleasure in spending time understanding my client’s brief and delivering the unique design they had envisaged. I am proud to have created a range of beautifully printed products from my hand-painted designs, a way that more of you can bring Chinoiserie joy to your lives either on a large scale, with my fine art prints, or as decor for your iphone. I have my original paintings digitised using a specialist precision scanner. This process creates a perfect reproduction of the original painting, including the soft texture of the woven silk and every fine brush stroke. I love to hear from you so do get in touch if there is anything you would like to discuss. If you want to stay up to date with my newest work the best way is to follow me on instagram or sign up to my mailing list. I hope you enjoy my colourful world of Chinoiserie chic!
