Diane Hill, Artist
Chinoiserie, ‘Chinese things’
Chinoiserie is an artistic style from the 17th and 18th centuries, blending Chinese motifs into European decorative arts and showcasing imagined East Asian landscapes and exotic elements.
How it all began
Her story as the queen of Chinoiseries started when she painted her daughter's bedroom, wanting to give her her own Chinoiserie paradise. She shared her process on Facebook; the reactions were immediate and overwhelming. Her pictures were shared countless times, and soon her project caught the eye of Vogue Magazine; this gave Diane the confidence she needed to start her very own business.
