Defined by thick, expressive layers of oil paint on stretched canvas, this pivotal era marks the full emergence of Dian’s abstract artistic voice. Rich in texture and saturated color, these works reflect a decisive expansion of her expressive techniques and position this period as a cornerstone of her abstract painting practice.

The 14-piece Ebb Series embodies this era on a grand scale. Created joyfully with thickly layered oil paint, the series was painted in Dian’s home studio on Cape Cod. The coastal landscape and emotional environment of this historic art region inform the movement, rhythm, and material depth of the work, making the series especially compelling for collectors and galleries seeking significant contemporary abstract art.

While the Ebb Era stands distinct in its style, it also shows clear connections to Dian’s additional works in oil and acrylic on canvas.
