"To paint is to create my own perfect world. Tranquil, serene, inviting, bathed in the warm, luminous glow of watercolor." - Diana Bradley

A native San Franciscan, Diana Bradley has resided in Marin County, California, for 35+ years. Her art shows around the United States, and travels around the world have provided special memories and endless ideas for new paintings and limited edition lithographs.

Diana majored in art and architecture at the University of California, Berkeley. Her architectural training gets frequent use, and her love of gardens and flowers is indulged in her many compositions which often feature architectural and floral elements with distant landscapes.

Diana has received several prestigious awards and is a signature member of the National Watercolor Society. Her watercolors are in many private and corporate collections.

In addition, she has painted many large murals in acrylics and has painted the images for, and produced, "The Diana Bradley Watercolor Calendar" for many years. Commissions for individuals or businesses are another delightful challenge.

Her cottage garden, filled with at least one hundred roses and all varieties of other perennials, is as charming as her paintings. Diana graciously welcomes visitors to her garden and shares the flowers and settings she so thoughtfully reproduces in her paintings. She is equally enthusiastic about painting other peoples homes and gardens, and has done many from photographs, adding the appropriate flowers and colors for the preferred season.

Diana is proud to have long been a signature member of both the National Watercolor Society and Watercolor West. My realistic watercolors are in collections around the world. She would love to create that special painting of your home, garden, or business; and have the painting reproduced on your very special stationary.
