fresco collage

Figures, botanicals, and dreamlike forms merged into many-layered compositions of light and atmosphere. Poetic and alive with feeling; the heroine’s journey, suspended in fresco and light.
The human figure in fresco collage. Dreamlike and intimate, these works have been compared to Chagall in their poetic suspension of the figure within layered light and atmosphere.
Mixed-media collage
Nature’s Palette. Sensory Rich. Curved Shapes. Botanical Forms. Textural Depth. Handmade
Built from paint, handmade papers and textures, botanical forms, fragments of text, fabrics, and keepsakes. More three-dimensional, richer in color, and more openly hand-made.

Every work is available as a limited edition fine art print in a range of sizes, and as a large-scale commission for hospitality, wellness, institutional, and residential spaces. I welcome conversations at any stage — from a single piece to a full installation. — Diane Epstein
Garden Fairy Tale Series
Painterly figures, children, and flowers suspended in spring gardens and starlit air. Whimsical, warm, and full of light — the natural world seen through the eyes of wonder.
