Artist Statement: My work is full of color, forms and layering. There is a plethora of characters to be found inside a world that is basically happy yet sometimes concerned about social and moral issues. My goal is to create a space for the viewer to connect in a way that is entertaining but also creates questions. Sometimes things make perfect sense and sometimes they do not. There is a strong sense of narrative in my work. My imaginary characters develop as I paint and I love exploring their oddities and proclivities. Here is wishing that you are perplexed and smiling as you view my work.

Biography: Diana Ferguson, known to the art community as ‘DiFergi’, graduated with a degree in Fine Arts from Stetson University. She then taught art in the public school system for eight years before she went full time as a studio artist. Diana can now be found in her studio almost everyday of the week. One of the many highlights of her art career was being invited to a month long residency in Hungary where she worked with eleven other artists from around the globe. She has shown on multiple continents and has had her work featured in multiple publications. Currently, she is an active advocate for the arts today in East Tennessee.
