Diane Mulligan OBE - a human rights and equality specialist in the field of international development. Her other passions include contemporary dance and interior design. In the 2009/10 New Year's honours, Diane was awarded an OBE for services to disabled people and to equal opportunities. This portrait was modelled exclusively from life - Diane sat in the artist's studio in Brighton. The bronze was cast by Livingstone Art Foundry. If you are interested in commissioning a portrait, please contact me on wiredandfired@hotmail.co.uk and we can arrange to talk over the phone or in person about the process as well as the costs. As with any portrait, the best results are achieved through face-to-face sittings rather than through photographs alone. These sittings can be held in your own home or in my studio.
