Dyan Reaveley

Mixed Media Artist Dyan Reaveley teaches and demos and is known for her creativity with layering colour, images and thought-provoking collages. Dyan’s unique eclectic style comes through in her vibrant colour combinations of inks and paints, using text as an insightful design element and the clever use of imagery in her artwork. As a Ranger Signature Designer, Dyan has a line of art journaling and mixed-media art supplies that includes ink sprays, paints, paint pens, inks, stamps, stencils, journals and ephemera.

Dyan owns and operates a teaching and design studio Art from the Heart in Harrogate, in the north of England. Dyan’s mission is to introduce everyone to the fabulous therapy that is art journaling and creating mixed-media art. Dyan has four grown children and the most gorgeous grandchildren in the world.

Dyan is mother to four grown up children, Grandma to eight grand kids and former keeper of one fur baby! Dyan loves nothing better than relaxing on a quiet beach in the sun and having a little shuffle to Northern Soul.
