Dianne Horton has been painting and drawing long before she became an educator. "The conscious and subconscious choices involved in the process of completing a painting are a never-ending source of excitement and amazement for me." In 1999 she co-founded The Working Art Gallery in Belfast, Maine. In this space, the owner/artists were able to maintain continuous open studios, meet customers and sell their work while featuring "traveling artists."
Horton's medium is watercolor and pen & ink and she loves painting seascapes and boats and lobstermen in peaceful harbors in her unique whimsical style. Her fascination with Belfast's historic structures has led her to paint centuries-old buildings and homes on a commission basis. Sshe is now expanding her work to include tiles and fabric.
Horton maintains a studio on Swan Lake in Swanville, Maine with her husband, Dan.
