Discover the Artist: Diane Clapp Bartz
Diane Clapp Bartz is an accomplished artist who has found personal satisfaction and widespread recognition through her emotive, imaginative artwork, characterized by its masterful fusion of colors. Her diverse range of subjects, including tranquil landscapes, expressive abstracts, and awe-inspiring waterfalls, offers her artistic liberation and presents admirers with a remarkable collection of pieces.
Recently, newspaper columnist Verne Palmer described her work as ranging from breathtaking depictions of Yosemite's Bridal Veil Falls to bold, vibrant abstracts and pristine winter scenes to a New York skyline obscured by bare tree branches. Each painting bearing the unique Bartz signature embodies a soothing and evocative sense of beauty reflecting nature's essence. Diane strives to create peaceful and calming atmospheres in her artwork.
Diane believes that her paintings respond to people's innate desire for beauty and connection to nature, while also eliciting an emotional reaction and raising their consciousness. Her art's patrons appreciate the emotional depth and immersive experience her paintings offer. They are particularly impressed by her seasonal approach and skillful blending of colors, which evoke powerful emotions akin to witnessing the scene firsthand.
Drawing inspiration from personal experiences and travels, Diane captures nature's subtle intricacies in her artwork. Instead of replicating a scene, she conveys the emotions and feelings it evokes, utilizing thumbnail sketches and photographs for architectural reference.
Beyond her passion for nature, Diane's work reflects her compassion for others. She has generously donated to charities supporting children with deformities or abuse, the homeless, educational foundations, and local churches. Her charitable endeavors have led her to meet First Lady Barbara Bush, Cher, and Dick Clark in support of the International Craniofacial Foundation and affected children.
As a member of an artistically gifted family, Diane began painting earnestly at the age of 12. Born in New Orleans and raised in the vibrant desert landscape of southwest Texas and the high mountains of New Mexico, she has traveled and lived in various regions, providing a vast array of subjects and inspirations. Currently, Diane resides and creates in her home-based studio in Southern California's Palos Verdes Peninsula.
Diane Clapp Bartz continues to develop her talent and gain acclaim in a world increasingly appreciative of art that allows for momentary escapes and reflections on serene beauty.
