For many years in Portsmouth, NH, I owned a graphics art studio, and had the opportunity to design and illustrate many diverse projects. In that time period, I also had an art studio with friends and spent many hours painting models that would come to the studio. We took some plein air trips to Italy, along with traveling the region up the coast of Maine to paint. I have had various shows in galleries in Portsmouth, along with having many open house nights at the studio in the spring and summer months …As a recent transplant to Clyde Park, Montana, my realm of view and subject matter have changed; I love Montana, and want to capture the people, the landscape, and the scenes, (I love the big sky here). By giving all my pursuits my best effort, new doors have opened for me along the way.I have a studio here in Clyde Park that anyone is welcome to visit, and I also do commissioned paintings, whether they are of a genre scene, (like fly fishing) or formal portraits. You can see some of these paintings at my site www.dianedraper.com
