Diana Croft

Diana studied illustration at Brighton University in the 1980's after which she worked for many years in London editioning complicated multi-plate colour etchings and collagraphs for the printmaker Brenda Hartill. Now living in Dorking, Diana works in her home studio producing collagraphs, lino cuts, stained glass and mixed media paintings. She is a long standing member of Greenwich Printmakers co-operative and a co-ordinator for the Surrey Artists Open Studios scheme which she has participated in ever since it started.

​

Diana's work is a direct response to particular familiar places and objects, either carefully composed still life designs or the landscapes of the North and South Downs, and the Kent coast where she grew up. She aims to evoke the essence of the place rather than produce a completely naturalistic representation.
