Finding the Line

BY Diane Schofield

“Drawing and observation are at the centre of all my work; I carry a sketchbook at all times and the visual notes I make inform everything I do, whether a fine-detailed drawing or a large abstract painting. I believe that the skills involved in making art are the medium to carry the emotional involvement it takes to produce a finished piece. Making art, for me, is a passion; a heartfelt response to life experience, whether an actual event, an object, landscape, music or words. I am driven by a need to convey this belief through my work.”

Biography

DIANE SCHOFIELD was born in Worcestershire, England and completed a foundation year at Stourbridge College of Art. She studied graphic design at The London College of Printing for three years until 1974, but found that she was not suited to the commercial art world. Apart from a few small design jobs, she has spent most of her life as a painter, largely in isolation. For many years, she painted exclusively in watercolour. Since 2004, she began to experiment with different mediums and became engrossed in figure painting. More recently, she has also taken another turn into abstraction, in particular the making and finding of lines. She is currently exploring this theme in the context of natural phenomena. Now retired, she lives in Scotland where she paints and exhibits her work. To contact the artist, please email: dianeschofield1@btinternet.com.
