Diane Dowsett

Diane Dowsett was born in Sudbury, Ontario and grew up in small communities with a wealth of nature on her doorstep. She is an artist based in Brighton who paints immersive landscape stories using rich colours, serene composition, and expressive brushwork. Having lived, worked, and traveled in many countries throughout her life, Diane is inspired by substantial variations in geography, cultures, and the creative accomplishments of others.

Diane left her corporate career in 2022 to dedicate herself to art, wellbeing and engaging with her local community. Throughout her life, creating art was a constant and provided a way to stay grounded through challenging times. Largely self-taught, Diane also learned from short art programs over the years, benefitting from different instructors’ techniques and insights. She values their generosity of knowledge, feedback, and guidance, and in turn, finds her own ways to support others as she moves forward with art.
