Diana Watson

“What inspires me to make art?” asks Australian artist, Diana Watson. “Everything. It is a complete way of life, never far from my thoughts. Seeing beauty all around me, colours, shapes, shadows, nature and the challenge of putting it on canvas. I love Picasso’s quote…”

“The purpose of art is to wash the dust of everyday life from our souls’
– Pablo Picasso
