Journey through the watercolor world of Diana
Miller-Pierce and Trillium Studio!
Diana Miller-Pierce is a traditional watercolorist in the
impressionistic style. While her work is painted in a traditional
impressionistic style, Ms. Miller-Pierce involves a strong
sense of abstraction in the underlying composition of the
paintings. The artist is attracted to scenes involving strong
clear light that casts shadows on her subject matter. She
looks for a composition of dark and light patterns that help
to create the dynamic tension and energy. Last but not least,
she uses color to enhance the images and enchant the viewer.
