Diane Paton Peel
Diane Paton Peel, Artist of Yukon and Washington Landscapes, was born in Seattle Washington. Her early years were spent in Stehekin, WA at the head of Lake Chelan where she attended the old Stehekin School, a one room log school house.
After several years in Alaska, she lived in Whitehorse, Yukon for 25 years, painting in oils the wilderness landscapes and the Wildflower Fireweed. Her greatest source of inspiration comes from hiking, looking at nature first hand, and sometimes painting on location.
"My art is a celebration of nature," she says.
Her work was on display at the Yukon Pavilion at Expo '86 and is in the collections of the Yukon Territorial Government, City of Whitehorse, Andrew Phillipsen Law Center, Northwestel, and Yukon College.
Her art training includes a course at the Banff School of Fine Arts, and workshops with Lilias Farley, James Marshall, Alan Wylie and Steve Mills.
Many of her oils have been published in the form of limited edition prints, cards, and posters.
She exibits regularly at the Spring Garden Fair at Manson, WA, Village Art in the Park at Leavenworth, WA, the Calgary Stampede Art Auction at Calgary Alberta, the Yukon Fish and game Association Art Auction.
Diane is represented by Yukon Gallery and Midnight Sun Gallery in Whitehorse, Yukon.
Also, the Lloyd Gallery in Penticton, B.C., and Highland Gallery in Bellevue, WA. She resides in Penticton, British Columbia.
