Diane Ubelhor-Wunderlich is a native
Mid-Western, living in Newburgh, Indiana.Always interested in art, she
became focused on watercolor while attending the American Academy of Art in
Chicago, Illinois under the instruction of Irving Sapiro. Most
recently she has become interested in painting wildlife having taken a
workshop with renowned wildlife artist, Robert Bateman.
"Combining my love of art and my love of animals has made my work even
more fulfilling. Whether in the field taking reference photos or in
the studio painting, I'm truly enjoying what I do. If I can portray
what I see and feel to the viewer then I feel I've been successful."
Although she prefers the immediacy, looseness and freshness of
watercolor, she also enjoys using gouache, pastels, acrylics, and pen & ink.
Wunderlich has received many awards both nationally and locally.
