Living in the Whiteshell Provincial Park area has given Dianne more opportunity to observe and sketch wildlife that visited her backyard or encountered on trips around the Whiteshell area. As a trapper's wife, she spent many years in Northern Manitoba admiring animal survival in the wild. Having the opportunity to care for many wildlife species that were orphaned or hurt gave her excellent opportunity to study them further.

     In her paintings, Dianne displays her fascination for nature and strives to create the excitement, peace and beauty that she feels when observing nature. Dianne studied oil painting at Symposium School of Art, colour mixing under Winnipeg artist and self-taught in watercolours. She teaches workshops and sells her artwork in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Ontario. Many art pieces have gone to Germany, Sweden, Norway, England and the United States.Dianne received first in watercolours, first in Northern Elements and Best in Show at Trappers Festival 2002.
