Diane Smith

Diane made Hornby Island her home after an eventful bicycle trip in 1971 that led her from suburban Burnaby to the shores of Big Tribune Bay. Since then she has contributed to the community as a mother, dancer, midwife, author, yogi and fabric artist. Her new works reflect many years living and working in India practicing midwifery, yoga and her artwork. She expresses her devotions and love of beauty with vibrant silk appliqués that revolve in light and shadow. They capture stillness in the heat of Indian summers and calmness in the midst of turmoil. Her inspiration? Making peace.

Diane’s work can be found at The Island Gallery
