About Chasing Linen
FOUNDER & ARTIST
Hi, I’m Dianuh!
I wear many hats (ba-bum-ch!) but most of the time, you can find me painting and dreaming up big ideas for Chasing Linen. At the core, I’m a creative visionary who loves to work with her hands and finds joy in the little details. I am a lover of puppies, the ocean and all things yellow.
Individualization is my top strength from the StrengthsFinder test, which means that I see each individual as unique and one of a kind. I wholeheartedly believe that each person should be celebrated for their unique qualities and style.
That’s why at Chasing Linen, we strive to create designs and experiences that celebrate life, love, and individuality.
Over the years, we’ve been able to create MAGIC with incredible companies like Google, Nordstrom, Bentley, La Croix, Rachel Zoe, Pixi Beauty, Janie & Jack, Baby2Baby and so many more. We’ve painted thousands of people from all over the world and it is our goal to make each person feel known and celebrated.
But first, I needed to discover that for myself.
My Journey
I’ve been drawing and painting my whole life, but was what you would call a “closet artist.” I found so much joy in creating but I thought it was a selfish ambition that didn’t give back to others. And if I’m really being honest, I didn’t think I was good enough. So I experimented in college and tried to pursue different career paths. After many attempts, I kept coming back to my love for painting and drawing. I realized that Art had chosen me and it was about time that I fully embraced it!
In 2013, I decided to share some of my artwork online through my blog called Chasing Linen and slowly, I began to gain more confidence. A few months later, I had an opportunity to go on a missions trip. I decided to sell my artwork to help fundraise for my trip. I ended up raising enough money to fund my entire trip and even started to get inquiries for custom artwork! At the time, I was going to school full-time and working multiple part-time jobs, so art became my side hustle. About two years of juggling school, day jobs and freelance, I decided to take the leap to focus solely on my art career.
In August 2015, I launched Chasing Linen as my full-time business and it’s been a wild ride since! As a company, we’ve been able to expand our products & services and grow our team of artists. Outside of art, I love creating lifestyle and business content for my Blog and YouTube channel. I am also a co-host for Modern Creative Podcast where we share helpful business tips for creative business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs.
