This work was part of R.M.Williams’ Artist in Residence program from June – September 2024.

Diana Miller’s painterly compositions appear fractured, with expressive brushstrokes that lead the eye in every direction, landing somewhere between organic and geometric. It is here Diana’s playful visual language comes to the fore, an expression of optimism evident in the artist’s emotional landscape and the fulfilment of her artistic process.

With an increasing desire to incorporate more playful mark-making into her work, this piece is a manifestation of Diana’s ability to combine colour, brush marks and shape-making, creating abstract works that have their foundation in the non-physical aspects of the self. The title, I Did Not See it Coming, refers to the unexpected moments in life that take you by surprise.
