Studio B Art Gallery is pleased to announce that esteemed artist Diz Hormel will be the gallery’s featured artist for April 2026. Visitors are invited to meet her during Easton’s monthly First Friday Gallery Walk on April 3, 2026, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
Hormel is known for her luminous oil paintings that explore the quiet beauty of everyday objects. Working primarily in the still life tradition, she creates compositions that emphasize harmony, balance, and the subtle drama of light and shadow. Her work invites viewers to slow down and experience a sense of calm reflection through carefully arranged forms and rich, layered color.
Classically trained at the atelier of Juliette Aristides, Hormel developed a disciplined approach to painting rooted in traditional techniques. Her studio process often incorporates thoughtful composition, chiaroscuro lighting, and a patient, meditative layering of paint that builds depth and atmosphere within each piece.
“This past year I have continued exploring the relationships between form, light, shadow and color in still life painting,” Diz explained. “The time and deep observation that I spend with my subjects often makes the process feel like portraiture. Objects gradually reveal their character, presence and relationships to one another. Painting can be meditative for me, and I hope to offer viewers a small respite from the noise and stress of an often chaotic world.”
