Diana Skelhorne is a British Columbia-based artist.

Diana has been an artist since her earliest days, supported and encouraged by elders and teachers who quickly recognized her talents. A graduate of the Milan Art Institute's Mastery Program, she has continued to develop her abilities and hone her craft studying under a number of well-known artists in classes, workshops and retreats. In turn, Diana has shared her knowledge with younger generations and other artists, conducting workshops, teaching one-on-one and creating instructional videos through her Make Art With Diana YouTube channel.

​

Diana's interests are eclectic. A lover of wilderness and the outdoors, she has most recently focused on painting animals, reflecting their wild spirit and inner complexity.

Diana was formerly an Artist in Residence at the Leir House Cultural Centre in Penticton as part of the Penticton and District Community Arts Council’s Artist in Residence program. She was also a partner in Penticton’s Front Street Gallery from 2019-2020.

Diana’s work has been featured in many solo and multi-artist shows, including the Lake Country ArtWalk in 2012, 2017, 2018 and 2024, the Chroma art show in Penticton in 2020 and the Mélange art show in Penticton in 2021. Her work is featured in public venues and private collections in Canada, the U.S. and Europe and she has been commissioned to create original works on many occasions.
