About
Artist’s Statement
The artwork of Diane Scully currently revolves around the themes of time, place, loss, and impermanence. She came to working in oil and cold wax medium after decades of painting in acrylics. She has recently been incorporating some water based layers with inks as a ground, or underlayment to establish spatial break up, compositional elements, and color found directly from an environment.
Throughout her creative life she has also been captivated by photography and printmaking. Her oil and cold wax artwork allows a type of intuitive dance to happen with her works through the incorporation of printmaking techniques used during her painting process. Photography has become a recording of overlooked images that she sees when few others do. She uses the images for inspiration, a starting point in her work, documentation, and to revisit glimpses of the past.
