Diana Hand was initially educated at the Ruskin School of Drawing in Oxford.    She later moved to Scotland to work at a Rudolf Steiner community, and was inspired to begin working with colour and textiles.  This has remained a passion and has been her livelihood since 1985.    She continued to develop her work by studying part-time at Leith School of Art and Edinburgh College of Art, and in 1997 she entered Glasgow School of Art to study painting, and graduated with a BA Honours in 2001.  This was followed by a Masters in Contemporary Art Theory completed in 2004.  Her studies have helped her to connect ideas and practice.  Concepts provide an essential base and structure to build on  and to increase understanding, although in her practice Diana often prefers to work spontaneously and rapidly, whether using dye on textiles or other media on paper.
