"My paintings celebrate the life cycles of plants and the diversity found within the Midwestern landscape. Energetic brushwork and vivid color come into play as I balance acute observation with abstract elements and try to compose paintings that bring the intimate and delicate into a bold statement. I want my paintings to resonate with a sense of the seen and unseen in such a way that it prompts the viewer to do the same." -Diana Werts Diana Werts is a Kansas native artist who uses abstract techniques to give a unique perspective to otherwise 'mundane' subjects. Having been raised by gardeners, Werts often focuses on flora and the nature that surrounds her. She currently lives in Kansas City, where she gains more inspiration from the native plants that reside alongside her there. The Hadley Collection features four of her pieces, including a triptych.
