Diane Erasmus

Drawing inspiration from nature

Drawing her inspiration primarily from the beauty of the natural world, KwaZulu-Natal artist Diane Erasmus has emerged as one of the most innovative and creative painters of her generation. Her vivid and colouristically inventive landscapes and seascapes are imbued with a profoundly spiritual awareness, yet remain grounded in those elements which define a great work of art. She prefers to work from life and travels extensively in order to glean new material for her work and whether in her depictions of the floral glory of the Namaqualand spring rebirthing, or in her moody treatment of river and seascapes the honesty and uniqueness of her vision shines through. Under the mentorship of her life-partner renowned landscape artist Anton Benzon, she has for the past 5 years worked under the aegis of Crouse Art, who have facilitated the promotion, marketing and sales of her paintings throughout South Africa and abroad. Her work has matured to the extent that it has become instantly recognisable and once seen imminently memorable. The possession of this fine artist's work has become not only an authentic pleasure but a progressive and fine investment opportunity. WORKSHOPS: Diane has painting Workshops from time to time together with well known Landscape Artist Anton Benzon. These are facilitated by both Anton and Diane, where they give Demonstrations in Oils/Acrylics and Palette Knife. Painting Week-end Workshops facilitated by Anton Benzon and Diane Erasmus.
