Bio:
Diana Moses Botkin was born and raised in the Midwestern United States. The oldest of three children, she has been making art since childhood. Diana relates, “One of my earliest art memories is drawing one summer day on large sheets of paper bigger than I was. I was about three. I still remember lying on the porch with that huge paper and some crayons. I can feel the cool concrete under my bare tummy even now.”
Having come through the influence of the Abstract Expressionists at the University of Oklahoma in the early 1970’s, Diana developed her own realism using dramatic compositions and traditional methods and materials.
Ten years as a commercial artist in a large metropolitan city in the 1970’s served to solidify her desire to create archival artwork with a lasting visual impact. When she married in 1980 and began having children, she was at home caring for family and originating ideas which have become the basis for a continuing body of work.
The artist has completed large oil paintings as well as miniature pieces. Her art career over the last 40 years has encompassed opportunities in commercial art, custom murals, portrait painting, teaching, and writing about art. Her work has been reproduced on book covers, in calendars and books. Diana also writes articles for Art Calendar Magazine and is a contributing editor.
Diana’s work has been honored with regional and national awards, museum and corporate purchases, and numerous private commissions. Collectors include Evansville Museum of Arts and Science in Evansville Indiana, St. Peter Hospital Clinic in Olympia Washington, Bristol-Myers Pharmaceutical Corporation in Evansville, Oklahoma Allergy Clinic in Oklahoma City, Women’s Health Center in Salem Oregon, Fred Jones Museum of Art in Norman Oklahoma, and others.
The artist is active in the Daily Painting art movement and shares her work regularly online at her website and blog. A wife and mother of five children, she currently lives and works in north Idaho.

Artist's Statement:
“As a painter I have been inspired through the years by the figure,faces,flowers, clouds and a host of subjects in God’s beautiful creation. I’m always happy to communicate with clients for special orders, or explain the process of my work. I hope my paintings bring a smile to your spirit!”
