Dry Pigment Paintings
Diane French
Sharing the beauty that is around us...and within us.
Using metals, minerals, and pigments in powder form, and only my hands as tools,
I create images capturing essential connections we share.
I strive to work beyond culture or tradition,
creating images that reflect our collective good-- non-verbal, relevant, and universal.
My technique is not far from early cave painting, burnishing powders into a rough surface by hand.
The difference is my contemporary access to richly pigmented materials, and my ability to share these universally understood images with so many,

Enjoy the videos from the studio, and the slide show, and add your name to my collectors!
