Diane Juris

Diane Juris (D.J.) Bykowski describes her work as "a reflection of me - from the whimsical side of my personality to the sedate side where reality and dreams merge and come alive." Diane's versatility is apparent in her contemporary abstracts and traditional, almost nostalgic, rendering of a myriad of subjects as well as her original jewelry. Juried status in the Arizona Artists' Guild, Arizona Watercolor Association, Creative Watercolor Association and the Arizona Art Alliance, along with active membership in the Peoria, Sedona and Scottsdale Art Leagues, has brought her much recognition and numerous awards. Her animal portraits and commissions of that "special place or moment" are in high demand since she not only expresses the likeness of her subject but also the essence. Most of her original work is also available as prints and cards. The work of D. J. Bykowski can be found in private and corporate collections nationwide from Massachusetts to Hawaii and is represented at Arlene Siegle Gallery - Santa Fe, NM; Mountain Spirit Gallery - Prescott, AZ and Esprit Décor, Phoenix, AZ.
