Meet the artist behind Diane's Art Gallery
Discover Diane's unique journey from computer programmer to acclaimed artist, and learn about the passion that drives her evolving creations.
An unexpected path to art
Diane Via is a self-taught artist whose creative journey began later in life, following a career as a Systems Analyst, Unlike many artists, she did not grow up immersed in art and once found the creative process intimidating.
From lens to canvas
Her path into the arts began through photography, sparked by time spent shooting alongside her husband. What started with an iPhone quickly evolved into a dedicated practice, earning recognition in online competitions as well as exhibitions and publications around the world.
Embracing the brush
While exhibiting her photography locally, Diane experienced a turning point when another artist asked to paint one of her images. That moment inspired her to explore painting herself. After experimenting with online courses and tutorials, she is now studying in the Milan Art Institute Mastery Program, where she is developing her technical skills through guided instruction and curated reference material.
"I love it when people like my artwork as much as I like creating it."
