Diane Chandler is a contemporary representational painter who loves the craft of traditional oil painting. She is fascinated by the play of light on forms, whether they be human, plant or inanimate. For several years she concentrated on portraiture, where she aspired to reveal some aspect of the sitter’s character, with the occasional addition of a bit of humor.
