My name is Diane Goring and I am an artist based in Somerset, England. I have a strong social conscience and my passion for a fair and just society is inevitably embodied in my work. I guess I’m an activist! As a Fine Art student expected to graduate in 2025, I never imagined my previous career as a social worker would lead me to such an important project that I must further, not only for the sake of the children we’ve lost, but in the hope of maybe saving some children’s lives or improving their circumstances.

I work in all mediums from charcoal, watercolour, oils and pastels, always experimenting with different applications and processes. I am also a sculptor and printer.

My recent exhibition Silent voices was based on extensive research. It is about the deaths of children where there is public care involvement that should have protected them. My findings were astounding and I am now working on the exhibition being able to tour with an accompanying video. These children must have a voice. If you wish to follow my progress with my projects and to hear of any events or workshops please subscribe to the site. I hope to publish every three months. Thankyou for considering my work.

All work on this site will be for sale. I have raised money for several local charities through selling my work and from donations. If you buy work you will be helping to fund my ambitions for further work and to also support me in making further donations to charity. I currently want to support Save the Children.
