Diane Phalen is best known for her popular Americana Quilt Series. The series is a vibrant collection of watercolor paintings featuring flowers, cottages, barns, country stores and Amish country life, with a rainbow of quilts hanging from porch rails, clotheslines and fences.
Diane rarely picks up a needle but has created more than 200 original quilts within her paintings. Diane often describes her art as "Quilting with a paintbrush." The Americana Quilt Series will continue to be an ongoing love affair of Diane's heart. Diane's goal is to convey to collectors of her art, the smell of spring flowers, the warmth of a summer day, the mood of an autumn sky or winter sunset and the peace and contentment of nature and her Pennsylvania heritage.
