Diane is an artist and photographer, with a passion for the people and landscape of Tibet. This may be because of her own nomadic roots, as a hippie living in a camper van in America in the 1970s. She is very well-travelled in eastern Tibet (now part of Sichuan Province, Gansu, Qinghai, Yunnan and TAR, China) in the foothills of the Himalayas.  

Diane first encountered Tibetan nomads, or drokpa, in 1999 in the Changthang of Ladakh and fell in love with the rawness, beauty and simplicity of their traditional earth-based culture. Ever since then the Tibetan nomads became her photographic obsession and the subject of her heart. She has spent many decades getting to know the people, taking photographs and writing extensively on the traditional ways of life and spirituality she finds there.

Diane lives in Worcestershire, in the converted village pub where she was born. She studied Art History at the University of East Anglia and went on to do a photo project MA at the University of Central England. She has created exhibitions which have toured around the UK, and appeared in Mumbai, and many of her photos have been exhibited in group shows in the UK, in India and in New York. Her work has also appeared in many books, publications and on-line platforms.
