Brisbane-based artist Diana Peel creates impactful floral impasto paintings that capture the beauty and energy of nature. Her pieces transform refined shapes into vibrant landscapes of colour and texture, using a palette knife to build expressive layers in luminous oil paint, giving each surface a tactile quality that resonates with depth and movement.

A diverse creative background has shaped Diana’s journey in painting. Initially trained in music for nine years, she later pursued academic drawing and painting and spent over a decade as an interior designer, refining her appreciation for the transformative power of art in spaces.

In 2016, after moving to New Zealand, Diana began her full-time art career, inspired by the country's botanical beauty. Recently relocating to Australia, Diana continues building her artistic presence as an established artist and sought-after tutor, with works featured in galleries across New Zealand and numerous private collections worldwide.
