Original creations come from her own experience and love for her subjects. Being an award winning photographer helps her study for her art. Diane said, “I like creating art that is realistic in its nature, yet leaving a place for the viewer to find their own experience and that is the beauty of being an artist.”

For Diane, the love of art, photography, horses and other animals began when she was a child. She began photographing horses with her Mother’s Baby Brownie camera. Her drawings and paintings include many animals. Still to this day, you will find Czajkowski filling her days observing the horse and wildlife through her photography and her artistic creations. Her choice of subjects vary, she is full of surprises. Her art brings things to people, and takes people places. People often say WOW, I feel like I am standing right there with you.
