Diane Bowie Zaitlin's mixed media and encaustic paintings reveal her fascination with the power of color, sensuality of surface, and use of a veiled narrative. She is especially attracted to the luminosity, depth, and fluidity of encaustic that allows a natural combination of painting and collage.
Diane has exhibited extensively including group shows at Leighton Gallery, Blue Hill, Maine; Elan Gallery, Rockland, Maine; Greenhut Galleries, Portland, Maine; George Marshall Store Gallery, York, Maine; Brian Marki Gallery, Portland, Oregon; Redhouse Gallery, Dubuque, Iowa; Silvermine Guild Arts Center, New Canaan, Conn.; Charter Oak Temple Gallery,Hartford, Conn.; Slater Museum, Norwich, Conn.
