Diane Chencharick has a long background in the arts. She enjoyed a successful career in advertising and design, with more than 30 years as a graphic designer, art director and creative director. She experienced the transition from hand drawing to digital and took up water-based media as a form of creative expression beyond the computer. There is no denying her graphic background in her art. Her abstracts often draw from nature, utilizing shape and form reminiscent of organic material. Water is one of her favorite subject matters because of its flow and constantly changing nature.

Diane is a popular teacher at the Venice Art Center in Venice FL, teaching experimental water media techniques and design.
