I have been intimately involved with the arts for a lifetime. For many years I taught my own program entitled 'History through the Fine Arts', not only to schoolchildren but to prospective teachers.  This program centered around cultural as well as applied art embellished with music. I am now fortunate to devote my time to paint on a full-time basis, working in oils, acrylics and pastels. I have employed collage enhanced with gold with a focus on producing unusual compositions.  I look forward to sharing my art during the 2023 ARTSI Studio Tour!

Portraits. Still Life. "Paw-traits."

I love painting faces (of people and animals), as well as small scenes from daily life. I try to move beyond a straightforward likeness to uncover something intrinsic about the subject. Generally I work in oil on canvas, from a photo and/or live sitting.

Chasing Sky Colors” was the name of my recent exhibit of watercolors. Currently I live and paint on Shelter Island, New York. Always drawn to the works of Bonnard, Van Gogh and Monet, I continue to paint and show my work. Continually inspired by the colors of the skies, both at dawn and at the end of the day and the phases of the moon. The journey continues.

I will be showing some new iPad paintings inspired by a trip to Florida, and some natural media drawings of Eleanor Roosevelt. Natural and digital media works of guns and other American artifacts will be on display alongside a commissioned DIMONscape (interactive media painting) currently in progress in my studio.

Short bio: Upon graduating from The Lamar Dodd School of Art, I drove my VW Beetle from Atlanta to New York City where my oil paintings began to fill with electronic squares of information. This led to computer studies at The School of Visual Arts followed by international shows and leadership roles in digital media for top corporations at The World Trade Center. Collectors include the 9/11 Memorial Museum, the late Walter Liedtke of the Metropolitan Museum, The Shelter Island Historical Society and The Children's Museum of East Hampton with nine works in the corporate collection of AT&T and numerous private collectors. Recent shows include a travelling exhibition titled "My Affair with Abraham Lincoln," and "Techspressionism: Digital and Beyond" voted one of the top five events in the Hamptons for 2022 by Dan's Papers. My work is also featured in an essay by Gail Levin for a book about Cities and Crisis edited by Kiko Sakagami published in Japan.

I am a member of The National Association of Women Artists as well as the Carter Burden Gallery. Both venues are showing my work this summer 2023 in New York City.

Diana Malcolmson spent her childhood in the heart of the English countryside, in the southern county of Hampshire. She started to ride at the early age of four and was following the hounds when she was just six years old.

She started her painting career at London University, and came to the United States in 1967. She studied with Stephen Csoka, Leon Kroll and Robert Phillips at the National Academy in New York, and studied at the Art Students League with the portrait painter William Draper, who painted the official presidential portrait of John F. Kennedy. She became a student of Henry Hensche of Provincetown, Massachusetts, who was the right hand assistant to Charles Hawthorne, the founder of the Cape Cod School of Art. She received her B.F.A. and B.S. at the Southampton Campus of Long Island University, and afterwards showed her work at the Peggy Mach Gallery in Bridgehampton.

She came to Shelter Island in 1969 as a summer resident and moved here permanently in 1970. She bought a pony for her daughter and soon found that she was teaching many of the island children to ride. In 1986 she founded Hampshire Farms Equestrian Center Ltd., which she ran until 2006. Since then she has had the freedom to pursue her love of painting, especially capturing the effects of sunlight in nature and the transformation of color by the warmth of the sun.

Diana has just recently completed a book chronicling her experience with horses and painting on Shelter Island, titled For the Love of Horses. It contains 26 painting plates, numerous sketches and over 125 photos of riders and their horses from the very beginning at Baldwin Farms in 1975 to her last horse show for students at Hampshire Farms in 2006.

Having grown up on Long Island, I spent my summers, sailing from Port to Port with the boat as my “sailing studio”, teaching kids to swim, “people watching” and currently heading up the Plein Air workshop on Taylor’s Island for its benefit. I interpret the works in an impressionist or semi abstract method and paint in all media. Whether my paintings are seascapes, landscapes, people or other works, they are inspired by the enduring peace, beauty and drama of the sea.

It has brought me great joy to paint my entire life. Formally trained in graphic design and fine arts, I have experienced many creative evolutions. My journey into abstraction has been challenging yet liberating. I have found that with abstract art, every person sees something different, revealing their individual imagination. I love building community with my art, creating a language that everybody speaks.
