Born in North Vancouver, B.C., Dyan spent her formative years moving around the province of British Columbia and now is pleased to call Terrace her home. Initially self-taught, Dyan began attending watercolor workshops in 1989 and has continued to do so on a regular basis over the ensuing years. With her favorite medium of watercolor, she paints a varied subject matter. Some of her subjects include wildlife, north coast landscapes, totem poles and harbor life. Dyan has participated and placed in a number of juried art shows for the B.C. Festival of the Arts. She has also successfully exhibited in major gallery showings and various public venues. She is proud to have been active on the executive of the Terrace Art Association, a non-profit group that manages the Terrace Public Art Galleries in support of the flourishing arts community in the Terrace area.
