Dinah inherited her love of painting from her artist father, Larry Wakefield. Originally from the UK, Dinah began painting seriously when she moved to Australia and in 1998 had her first exhibition at the Beattie Gallery in Sydney. In 2016, she moved to Peregian Beach and set up a studio. She was particularly inspired by the beauty of the coastline and her palette, composition and use of organic texture developed into the style you see today. Dinah is known for the tremendous sense of movement and energy that she captures in her paintings and the beautiful ambience her work creates.
