Art that captures the vibrancy of life.

"Welcome! Bold, sketchy lines and colours make me happy. Life is more real to me when it's messy and imperfect, so I sketch what's around me with carefree abandon; what I see in my environment – nature, shades and colours, sometimes animals, buildings, people – and often take my own photographs of the same that expand into further ideas for illustrations. My favourite method is to work freehand with ink then wash over it all with watercolour; sometimes I work with pastels, graphite, and colour pencils. Bringing vibrancy and wonkiness to brighten your space makes me happy. May we always see the world through new eyes and smile." – Dianna

A CHRISTMAS CARD COMMISSION FROM 2022

Lenormand Card Deck
​
​

Hand-drawn digital illustrations for a Lenormand Oracle Deck. This was both an experiment and a challenge I set myself to see if I could create 36 cards using only digital drawing (in my carefree, bold style), and still have the deck read well. Affirmative: in my opinion, this is both a fun and accurate deck!
