Art by Di

Artist and Painter

Canadian artist Di was born in Vancouver in 1984 and graduated from Simon Fraser University with a Major in Archaeology. As a self-taught artist her style evolved through the exploration of using bright solid colors and flowing lines to reduce the endless detail of life into calming, simplistic beauty.

Di’s body of work includes illustration, digital art and acrylic paintings. She has been shown in galleries on Bowen Island, Vancouver and in private collections across North America. Recently she created two 360° murals for the BC Children’s Hospital and was co-exhibitor in ‘The Art of Conservation’; an exhibition to raise funds and awareness for wildlife conservation in British Columbia. Di works from her home studio on Bowen Island where she is often found exploring land and sea with her husband, daughter and two dogs. 

Energy. Power. Water. You cannot think about Howe Sound without thinking about water. See the mountainsides sculpted by rivers. Follow valleys carved by glaciers. Circle islands surrounded by the sea. Everywhere you look, as far forward and as far back as you see. During the last ice age 15,000 years ago the fjord was covered under 15 kms of glacier, and the power from this slow crush of flowing ice was enough to completely reform the land. It was water that sculpted Howe Sound into the foundational landscape we see today, and upon that foundation it is water that continues to permate and breathe life into every corner of its reach.
