DIANE COX OSBORNE

"My work is representational and I enjoy working from my own photographs and experiences." - Diane Osborne

Background

Diane paints many subjects, but her primary focus is on artistic architectural designs producing pen and ink, watercolor or oils of buildings, old home places, current homes, churches, libraries, hospitals, work places, etc.  Art by Diane is a home business started in 1997.

She is a Signature Member of the Georgia Watercolor Society and her work has been accepted by the National Watercolor Society.  She is a founding member and President of the Joseph House Art Gallery and has taught art in the Columbus area for many years.

Diane was born and raised in North Carolina.  She married in 1961 and military life awarded her with abundant travel and many experiences to draw from.  She is active in the community and has devoted time to numerous local, state and national organizations.  She is also a Master Gardener.

Her work is included in the private collections of many homes and businesses and it hangs in many government buildings in the U.S. and several foreign countries.
