Diana Gessler's Biography

A graduate of the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Florida, Diana Gessler creates dramatic paintings of the islands and tropics using oil on canvas. She travels frequently and extensively to locations such as Europe, the Caribbean, Central America, and the Amazon rainforest for the inspiration to create her exotic tropical paintings. Her strong brush strokes and intense colors combined with her ability to manipulate sunlight produce paintings of luxuriant color and rigorous contrast. Diana says she is very fortunate to have had three things in life: "Artistic genes from my father’s family, supportive parents who had the vision to start my art schooling at an early age, and a husband that shoulders all the domestic duties so that I can have maximum creative time. My guiding quote is a sign in the studio that reads ‘You are here for the joy and delight of your soul,’ an Amish saying about life on earth...or in one’s studio!
