Works by artist Diana Windham

The Woodbury Public Library will be highlighting works by artist Diana Windham in a retrospective show in the Library’s Gallery Space.

​

Diana Windham studied painting at The State School of Visual Arts in Frankfurt, Germany and was greatly influenced by the etchings of Rembrandt and other Dutch masters. At Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, she studies with the late James McGarrell and received a Master of Arts in Teaching. The Art Students League in New York City provided the next stage in her development as a painter of the human figure. Edwin Dickinson’s masterful rendering of one focused-upon area next to another, combined with his open-minded conversation with avant garde artists was enlightening and inspiring. To be completely in charge of one’s subject matter, at the same time, inventing something new became her goal.

​

Diana has taught studio art, drawing, painting and art history in colleges in Kansas, at John Jay High School, Katonah, New York and at Tunxis University, Farmington, Connecticut. The need to expand her world of experience brought her to study commercial art at SUNY, Purchase, and at Parsons School of Design in New York City. She also has added decorative wall painting to her repertoire of skills.

​

Her paintings and drawings have been shown at Silvermine Gallery, New Canaan, Connecticut, the Neuberger Museum, Purchase, New York, and the Washington Art Association, Washington Depot, Connecticut.
