Diane Laird is the owner of Simple Joys, LLC. Her "signature style" combines watercolor and pen/ink to create paintings that exhibit rich color, transparency, and meaningful subject matter in a realistic context. Her 15 year background in architectural detailing and perspective drawing, along with her current profession in downtown revitalization, naturally directs much of her work toward historic architecture, although she finds that a wide variety of imagery and subject matter keeps things lively and enjoyable. Her work evokes a sensory and meaningful response in the viewer...joy!
