I really was very impressed by your work,never having seen it before.Larry Groff has listed my talk on the teaching methods of Edwin Dickinson on this site, I think, as you teach you may find it usefull, or it is on my web site,left corner top as “lecture”
As you painted on top of the W T C did you run into my friend Tom Loepp, who , in the90’s painted a number of views from there?

Great style and use of colour. You might like to look at Mario Finlayson’s work from Gibraltar.

Dear Ms. Horowitz,

I have followed and loved your work for almost twenty years; I was introduced to it by Susanna Coffey and Dan Gustin at SAIC in the mid-90’s. Sadly I attended after you taught there and did not get a chance to learn directly from you.

If you have the time to answer the following questions I would really appreciate it, but if you can’t or don’t want to I completely understand that you are busy with more important things.

Do you approach your work with a kind of surprise-seeking, experimental curiosity or do you make paintings to investigate preconceived ideas that you have regarding composition, or pictorial space, color and light, or some other personal artistic interest? Also, would you comment on whether you think academic skills (linear and atmospheric perspective, chiaroscuro, constructive anatomy, indirect techniques in drawing and painting) are important for contemporary artists to learn in college art programs? Does directness relate to authenticity?

Thank you,
Noel

This is a wonderful interview. I have long been a fan of Diana’s work and it’s good to see such a variety shown here. She paints such confident forms and bathes them in exquisite atmospheric light; very neo-classical. Her humor and modesty come across here too.
