Introducing the next generation of design talent, as selected by the industry’s leading female creatives

I discovered Diane’s work on Instagram in early 2020, and was drawn to her exquisite paintings. It’s mesmerising watching her create bespoke wallpaper panels, mixing the traditional art of chinoiserie with her own vibrant and sophisticated approach to colour. Her attention to florals and nature is meticulous and awe-inspiring. There is an authenticity to her style as an artist, which – alongside sharing the realities of running a small creative business – has helped her grow a devoted Instagram following. Our paths may cross one day within interiors – I’m thinking a chinoiserie/ geometric-inspired wallcovering could be rather cool!
