Diane Varner daily walks
Diane Varner daily walks
Her beautiful photographs touch the most secret, deep soul strings. Diane Varner works are so precise and beautiful, and wonderfully reflect the time, experience, look, and the movement. The striking simplicity and richness in this simplicity.
According to the artist, it all started with the daily walks with her dog and a camera. Diane started her career as an artist doing painting. As she talks about herself in an interview her creative formation was influenced by few people, and above all – her mother, who worked in watercolor and collage. Her mother was the main support pillar, who constantly inspired by her own example.
Diane Varner studied fine arts at the University of California at Santa Barbara. However, she considers that this was not the main thing in her search for herself. The ability to notice the past that many people simply run over in their daily affairs and concerns, was given to her by days walking when she was just walking with her dog. Diane compares these walks with a daily meditation, an opportunity to be alone with herself, to feel her connection with the world.
Photos of Diane convey not just the beauty of nature – but the spirit: it is the forest, filled with scents of leaves, birdsong, rustling grass. It’s amazing how she manages to notice the transformation of nature, landscape details, the change of seasons. This chilly breeze of the morning hours in the mountains, the sea, and the cold morning dew, just about ready to fall from the first steps of the day. Ability to professionally process images is her great advantage and achievement.
