"Foliage is often centre stage in my work but for this piece I used a new colour combination. The shadow-like, azure blue complements the orange background, as well as taking on some green hues. I wanted to emphasise a sense of fluidity and light coming through with the translucency of the leaves. The painting has an autumnal feel, with silver gouache highlighting certain, frost-like patches". - Diana Palmer, 2020.

Diana Palmer’s paintings address the relationship between a figure and its environment. Recent works depict dancing plants or people, morphing into, or emerging from, a landscape. Conveying movement, the pieces capture observed and abstracted fragments of light, atmospheric changes or physical gestures.

Diana likes to work with a vertical “portrait” canvas, as this shape relates to her standing body. Whether inspired by a memory of a place or a photograph, the process of painting is a playful interpretation of spatial relations. Performing figures may be visible, or else the artist' perception of her surroundings may be the sole subject matter.
