I’m Diane Goldie, a multidisciplinary artist and writer based in South London.

My practice spans painting, wearable art, and writing. The work is rooted in grief, identity, neurodivergence, feminism, and questions of power and legitimacy. It is shaped by lived experience rather than theory, and by a refusal to separate the personal from the political.

I create art as a way of surviving, communicating, and bearing witness. Much of the work is concerned with what happens when dominant systems collapse under their own mythology, and with the quiet resilience of those who live outside them.

The continuing presence of my daughter, Imogen, informs my work in ways that are not symbolic but lived. Her influence shapes how I understand time, care, and continuity.

Alongside my visual practice, I am the author of We Accept Her, One of Us, a book that emerged from my process of understanding my autistic and ADHD identity.
