Working primarily in oils, Diane Frykman has produced award winning landscapes and still lifes. Her works are colorful and strong, primarily based on realism and have been exhibited in many juried shows. She has recently done some water-based experimentation in abstraction to add to her portfolio.

She holds a BA in English and Elementary Education, an Associate in Illustration from NOVA and a Masters from Virginia Commonwealth University in painting and sculpture. She taught art for many years in the Fairfax County public schools and was selected as Northern Virginia Elementary Art Educator of the Year in 1995 by the Virginia Art Education Association.
