'Wait for Me,' by Diane Coady, Oil and Silk on Canvas Painting
This 24" x 36" oil and silk on canvas painting created in 2015 by artist Diane Coady, depicts an abstracted environment with boats and rabbits in a palette of soft pink, green, blue and yellow. In the background Coady explores a water scene featuring two boats with white sails in blue water. In the foreground Coady layers imagery of a white rabbit in an orange cage. The intersection of these two narratives creates areas of dynamic lines ands shapes.
Diane Coady is former nurse and self-taught painter and fiber artist . She moved from Texas to Oklahoma City in the 1980's and soon became a fixture in the Paseo Arts District. She maintained a studio and art space there for several decades before retiring in 2010's. She currently lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Diane Coady adopted Oklahoma City as her home in 1981, and then years later, made her studio in the Paseo Arts District. Coady began as an art major in college, but soon shifted to pursue nursing. While a practicing nurse at Mercy Hospital, she found herself among fellow nurses who began teaching themselves needle arts. Coady then took classes and began to blend her passion for fine art and fiber. Though Coady is primarily self-taught, in 1996 she studied with accomplished Shibori artist Ana Lisa Hedstrom. This experience greatly influenced her work and practices to pursue art full-time. She has exhibited widely, won awards, and has been featured in publications. Her tactile, functional, and wearable artworks have been sold around the country.
