Austin has always been a colorful city that attracts artists from around the world. Every Month Miller IDS showcases Austin’s creative energy by highlighting a resident artist and their work. We love being a trusted resource for painters, illustrators, designers, and visual artists and, in turn, show our gratitude to the talented folks that keep returning for the highest-quality prints in the city.
Featured Artist: Diane Tubb
October 2015: Diane Tubb, our featured artist this month, is a true Austinite; a multi-talented artist, designer and musician.
The native Texan played classical violin and folk guitar until focusing on interior design and art in college. After college, Diane first worked as an interior designer, interior design instructor and architectural illustrator, doing watercolor and pen and ink illustrations for fun. Joining her husband, Jerry, in founding Terra Nova Mastering studio, where she is now Vice President, in charge of business and studio operations, she continued to paint, primarily in watercolor and adding acrylic to her repertoire several years ago.
Her work has been published in many media outlets and prints of her music themed work hang in many recording studios, recording artists’ collections, and private collections. Diane’s watercolors are painted on heavy cold press illustration board, allowing her talent for fine detailing to shine, which she further enhances with pen and ink. She uses large format heavy duty canvas for her acrylics, preferring the acrylics for more contemporary and abstract work, such as the lovely Grazioso Rizmo (Graceful Rhythm) shown here.
More of both her watercolors and acrylics may be seen on Diane’s website (www.dianetubbart.com) or by contacting her directly.
Notes Diane, "I couldn't wish for a more perfect life, music and art, all day, every day! How fun is that?
