Diane Tharp

I have always been inspired by the wonder and beauty of nature and my artwork is a reflection of my love of nature. I am blessed to live in the country of North Auburn and am surrounded by flora and fauna of all kinds, as well as our own farm animals, pets, and grandchildren (another form of wildlife!).
I have dabbled in other mediums but always return to watercolors. I love the transparency, luminosity, and simply the mystery of watercolors, which often have a mind of their own. Painting is a passion, meditative, and regenerating. I paint what stirs my heart and it is a blessing when someone else is touched by one of my paintings.
