Artist Statement
​Diane Mengali
​



My early training in art came from a still life oil painter, but my interest has always been geometric form, space and color. As a young adult, it was difficult for me to reconcile my personal vision of art to my early training.  This different vision, combined with a long struggle with panic attacks, agoraphobia and therapy appointments, interfered for many years with my ability to paint.

Two major influences unlocked my visions and propelled me back to the canvas.  The first occurred during a lecture by the well-known artist, Corita Kent. After seeing her work, I began to appreciate how art could relate significant ideas without representing traditional subjects.  The second influence came during my personal search for healing and relief from agoraphobia. To escape the anxieties that would otherwise pervade my every waking moment, visualization exercises offered me a safe haven from the stress of panic attacks.  As I became skilled at visualization, the images that developed in my mind were the geometric interactions that I had first "seen" as a young girl.
