While Dian has many finished paintings for sale, much of her work is commissioned. After clients visit her studio to see past works, she visits their home to better understand their interests and taste in home decor. While every piece incorporates Dian's own style, she works closely with each client on every step of the process.

Dian now paints in both watercolor and acrylic on various surfaces, including clay, which she first shapes into various subjects on board.

She describes her work as sometimes graphically realistic and sometimes totally abstract, but always with an emphasis on design and color. Her original paintings now grace collections in 11 states.
