About

Diana Birkett is a professional artist and former Royal Doulton designer, bringing decades of experience in colour, composition and craftsmanship to her original oil paintings, linocut prints and greeting cards.

From the rolling hills of Darley Dale, Derbyshire to her current studio in Cheshire, Diana's artistic journey has been shaped by a deep connection to the natural world. She gained a BA in Fine Art from Exeter and further honed her craft studying textile design in Somerset. Her career took her to London, where she worked as a designer before joining Royal Doulton as a surface pattern designer — a role that sharpened her eye for detail, pattern and the decorative arts.

Today, Diana's work celebrates the beauty of nature through linocut prints, oil paintings and greeting cards — each piece reflecting her passion for the organic forms and patterns found in the world around us.
