August Gallery 2012 Artist Diana Oestreich: Northwest Details

Bonney Lake photographer Diana Oestreich creates pictures of the many forces of nature, land, sky, water, wind, and infinitely more. Her artistic eye captures the beauty that we often pass by. Diana helps us stop and take a closer look at what’s always there if we take time to truly see.

Diana Oestreich Artist Statement:

I've been fortunate to experience art in a variety of ways: traveling worldwide, working directly with artists, earning a degree in art history. But it was when my interests shifted to technology that I found my artistic passion in digital photography. The portability and freedom of a compact digital camera, combined with my enjoyment of the outdoors, has led me to take photographs of nature for over a decade. I am learning and exploring with each new image.
The fine details of nature fascinate me. The curve of a leaf, the patterning of water, all those extraordinary quiet moments gifted by nature are what I find most refreshing, and what I strive to express and share with my images. All the photographs in this show were taken in western Washington.
