Diana Chabros
In 2012, Diana relocated from Regina to Val Marie, a village in deep southwest Saskatchewan
at the cusp of Grasslands National Park. She walks and listens to the land which deeply inspires
her paintings.
A trained visual artist with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and a Masters degree in arts
education, her colour-rich fictional and traditional land scapes urge the viewer to adopt a more
meaningful connection to their inner and outer environments. Her related training for more than
a decade has included short residencies, various workshops with senior artists, an informal
ongoing mentorship with senior visual artist Marsha Kennedy, intensive study with international
Yoga creatives/teachers, Brenda & Georg Feuerstein, and with international intuitive painter/
psychotherapist Aviva Gold, MFA, MPS, CSW, ATR-BC, REAT known for her transformational
Painting From the Source workshops and retreats.
Moved by the power of the land - its subtle energy, palette, geology, and sentience as a
biological living entity - Diana documents, through paint, her dialogue with the area’s rich mix of
cultures, stories, and sentient beings. Her work has been exhibited at the University of Regina,
the Art Gallery of Swift Current, Shurniak Art Gallery in Assiniboia, and alternative spaces
across southern Saskatchewan, and Kansas, USA. Her work can be found in both public and
private collections including the Saskatchewan Arts Board as well as on her website
www.dianachabros.com. Visit www.skystory.ca for retreat and event information.
An adjunct to her own professional art practice, Diana serves as a consultant/manager for her
busy life partner, a senior interdisciplinary artist and nêhiyaw/Cree knowledge keeper, Joseph
Naytowhow from Treaty Six. She also delivers Nature in Me© Intuitive Painting Retreats, cares
for many Val Marie cats, and and operates a small bed & breakfast.
