Diana Ferguson, also known as DiFergi, is an internationally recognized and awarded visual artist. She graduated from college with a degree in art at the age of 40 and has been creating art ever since. She taught art for eight years in the public school system before going full time as a studio artist. She has shown on multiple continents, has had her work published in national publications, and is currently an active advocate for the arts in East Tennessee. Primarily a painter using acrylics, she sometimes is also drawn to collage and mixed mediums. Boundaries are discouraged in her work, and reality has no prominence. Her work seeks to entertain, question and create its own narratives.

Faces, thoughts, narratives and emotion are what ‘talk’ to me. I want a story or a feeling to cover my canvas. Power and spirit, color and texture, visual energy and magical wonder are all interwoven into my paintings. Reality has very little to do with the intention of my final image.
