Reed Eiler, Diane

Diane Reed Eiler works in and teaches a variety of mediums. These include oil, acrylic, watercolor and mixed media. Through thoughtful critiques she encourages self discovery and individual expression welcoming all levels. "As an artist and instructor, my goal is to inspire others to view the world as the unpredictable and amazing place it is. To take chances and create! In my own work my intent is to bring together light, color and the natural composition nature rewards us with and translate it into a unique painting for the viewer to experience. I find inspiration from the Everglades and Southwest Florida, my home for many years, as well as from trips out west to reconnect with the mountains, rivers and pacific coast that shaped my past."
