Di’s love of the bush and all things Australian inspired her to join the “Cattlemens Association of Victoria” and the “Victorian Working Draught Horse Association”. There her love of cattle drives, horsemen. River crossings and the High Country, along with her ploughing scenes became synonymous with the art of Di King. Her paintings have always included the figure in one way or another. Di’s figurative work is evocative and sensuous, from lovely young ladies draped in sheets or soft flowing fabric with moody back lighting. People in action, on the beach or a bar/restaurant.
Di has exhibited in London, Paris and New York. She has had many solo and group exhibitions along with several publications. She is a well known and respected artist with many awards and credits to her name.
Di is a past councilor, editor and Signatory Fellow of the Australian Guild of Realist Artists, and member of the Portrait Artists Australia and the American Portrait Society.
