Music. Art. Education.
Hi, I’m Diane. I have played saxophone for over 30 years. For me, everything is about connection; when I'm not performing live, I'm in my art studio creating visual improvisations. I bring that same creativity and focus to my teaching, helping students of all ages find their own creative voice.
I perform across a variety of ensembles, from the Cygnet Jazz quartet to freelance collaborations. Check my live Gig List to see where I am playing next, or get in touch to book the perfect music for your event.
I create paintings and drawings of the world as seen through my eyes, translating the balance of precision and spontaneity of live performance into vibrant artwork. Take a moment to view my art gallery, browse the curated collections, and explore or buy high-quality prints.
I offer a supportive, tailored space for students of all ages and skill levels to build confidence and enjoy the process of learning. Whether you are picking up an instrument for the first time or refining your technique, I can help you find your own unique voice on the saxophone
The Musical Art of DISAX
For me, playing music is art, and creating art is improvisation. Whether I’m on stage with my saxophones and jazz vocals, or sharing the spotlight with friends and family, my focus is always the same: shaping the right atmosphere.
In the studio, I translate the spontaneity of live jazz into colour and line. My paintings and drawings are visual improvisations that explore the energy of the world around us . Just another way to share a story
