Diane Flick Art
Diane Flick is a Bay Area artist who paints quirky portraits of robots with a playful color palette and masterful realism. Diane Flick majored in art during college and went on to graduate school, receiving her MA in humanities with a creative study emphasis in 2001. Each of Diane’s robots expresses its own humanlike and idiosyncratic personality. From an early age, she had a fascination with inanimate objects and often imagined what they would be like with human characteristics. Her portfolio explores the human experience through non-human subjects.

"A true gift sparks joy in my heart and a craving for jelly," says Diane Flick of this playful scene. Her latest series of ink and watercolor drawings adds more characters to her invented universe where robots befriend animals and devour delicious treats. These diminutive drawings work well on their own, or tell a great story in groups of three or five.
