Diana Capstick is a multidisciplinary experimental artist and sculptor based in Mellis, near Eye, Suffolk. She was awarded an MA in Contemporary Fine Art from Falmouth University. Her professional career includes a six-year artist residency at the British Embassy in Paris, where she developed large-scale floral installations incorporating historical artifacts, working alongside leading creative figures including Vivienne Westwood and the design house Osborne & Little.
Her current practice spans painting, sculpture and textiles, exploring the relationship between nature, the feminine and our place in the world. Moving between figurative and abstract forms, her work draws inspiration from the natural environment, mythology, the female experience and the often overlooked narratives of everyday life. Experimentation, intuition and material alchemy are central to her approach. She embraces uncertainty and the unexpected, allowing each piece to evolve through exploration, discovery and risk-taking, often challenging the boundaries between fine art, craft and sculpture.
Alongside her studio practice, Diana is an experienced art educator, offering a variety of art classes and creative workshops from her studio in Mellis. She is particularly interested in encouraging individual expression, curiosity and experimentation, creating opportunities for people to explore materials, develop confidence and discover their own creative possibilities. Her practice continues to evolve, bringing together art, nature, storytelling and material exploration in work that is instinctive, questioning and open to change.
