Diane Rubino Davies is a lifelong, multidisciplinary artist who finds relevance and beauty in the organic.
A native of Philadelphia, Diane studied Fashion Design at Moore College of Art & Design. After moving to New York City, she began a career in graphic design and art direction and worked at several national publications, including Good Housekeeping, American Baby, Mode and Seventeen. After moving to the Boston area and having children, she studied photography and began work as a freelance photojournalist for her local newspaper, the Winchester Star.
She was also a portrait photographer who valued idiosyncrasy and imperfection in her subjects, favoring their complex individuality over simple physical beauty.
During her time at Good Housekeeping she was responsible for the art direction and design of the food pages. Informed by this, she created a series titled “A Sweet Role”, during her time in the Photography Atelier 15 at the Griffin Museum. It portrays dessert as theater, taking center stage – as beautiful and dramatic as a main character.
