Diana Elaine Naylor is a self-taught contemporary artist based in New York City. 

 

While a lifelong creative, it wasn't until 2021 when Diana purchased her first canvas that she discovered her immense passion for painting. She credits her unconventional path to the years she spent working in senior operational roles in the U.S. Senate and at globally recognized financial institutions. 

​

"From crafting legislation to strategizing marketing campaigns, every role I've held has championed bold and creative solutions to complex problems. Those parallels - and so much more - were immediately felt when I attempted my first work.  I had finally found something that exceeded my hard to match passion for politics, I just needed an introduction."

​

Her deep desire for continued learning, maximizing creative freedom, and connecting with others can be seen in the bold and differing styles of every work she creates. 

​

Diana holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Political Science from Arizona State University, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2015.
