Diana - The Artist
DIANA STARBUCK, born in Toronto, moved to the Sunshine Coast over 30 years ago. Because of her love of animals, she had always dreamed of living in the country.
She began painting in oils, back in the 1970's, but had to put painting on hold, while she returned to school as a mature student to Capilano College, in order to obtain a better job. Her new and demanding career began in 1990, but working 7 days a week, still no time remained for being creative.
Six years ago, under the instruction of a local artist, Diana "made time" for painting, this time in acrylics. Her colourful paintings of animals, gardens, and favourite places, reflect her love of the Sunshine Coast.
Residing now, with husband Dave, in Roberts Creek with her 2 horses "Sunny & Joy" ; black lab "Roy", and "Dolly" the miniature horse, Diana is grateful to be living her childhood dream!
