She grew up on a small farm in Kent County, Ontario near the town of Blenheim. Surrounded by nature in her youth, she draws on her own childhood to create stories. Her grandmother was an artist and kept her grandchildren busy with crafts and paints.
Currently, Diane lives in the small town of West Lorne where she writes stories, paints creatures, tends gardens and spoils her dog.
