About Diane Walkey
When I am painting, I like to use a variety of implements and tools including knives, cardboard, rags, housepainters brushes, and, occasionally, my fingers. I really enjoy the process of painting and the serendipity of wet on wet techniques. Though I may start with a fairly accurate representational drawing, I soon digress. It's rather like stepping off a known path in to an unknown space... This is the place where you bring together the known and the imagined, memory and invention, and where Painting becomes Art. For me, painting is an expression of personality and identity - moving paint around a canvas is this expression. The subject is something to hang a painting on. The painting itself determines when it is finished. Sizes given are nominal, though I try to be fairly accurate. Frames, if any, are generally simple 1" pine.
I was brought up on the Gower Coast in South Wales. I studied Stained Glass at Swansea Art College, Glass & Ceramics at Stourbridge Art College, and Glassblowing at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. I spent some years teaching Art & Design, Fine Art, Sculpture & Ceramics and studying for an MA in Art & Design Education at Manchester Polytechnic. I am a professional working artist, I paint, draw, take photographs,make artist's books, and also work as a Book illustrator . I am also a tutor on Painting and Photography courses for The Open College of the Arts. I live and work in West Wales, near the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path and the Ceredigion Coast. My work has been exhibited widely. I was outright winner of The Independent/Energy Saving Trust National Photography Competition in 2003 and consequently, my work was on display at The Science Museum, London for three months in 2003/4. I have also had work shown in a Royal Photograph Society's International Print Show, Wexford Artists Book Exhibition, which travelled Eire, Y Tabernacl, Machynlleth, Aberystwyth Arts Centre, and many other venues. I recently co-curated 'Lines & Strata' - Welsh Drawing Show and competition, open to Artists from all over the Principality, shown at Oriel Mwldan, Cardigan, and am a co-curator of Lines & Strata 2, which will tour Wales in 2010. Visitors to my studio in Tanygroes, Cardigan, Ceredigion, are welcome throughout the year, though you are advised to Email first.
