About the Artist
Diana Strom
Living my bliss
Greetings! I'm proud to be a native of Oregon and reside there with my husband and best friend David.
Primarily I paint in acrylic and oils. I adore color, nature, and the fullness of life inspires my artistic endeavors. After retiring I decided to act on my lifelong dream of being a full-time artist. It’s been an exciting journey and allowed me to explore a variety of subject matter and techniques, as well as different painting mediums.
I paint for the relaxation it brings and to build emotional connections with people in the process. I find the connections between my clients and myself are the icing on the cake. It all boils down to feeling the joy that life brings my way and seeing the value of life in its simplest form.
I do commissions and treat my clients like family, bringing them into the experience as that journey unfolds. So together, we come up with the artwork that they desired. Sharing my gift with others is always special to me so please reach out if you would like to explore the options.
