Diane working under the brand name China Petals and Diane Daley Mosaic Artist, started creating mosaics out of bits of broken china she came across in charity shops and second-hand sales. She began making small trinkets and pieces for friends and family, but quickly realised that she could make something more of it.
She began to branch out, taking commissions and releasing original artwork for sale, before expanding her business offering DIY mosaic kits and holding small workshops.
