About Diana Huang (Orange County, California Author)

Diana Huang

Artist, Art Teacher, Activist & Professional Daydreamer

Author and Illustrator of The Elemental Horses book series

Diana Huang is a professional artist who has been teaching & mentoring for 15+ years. By working for various clients and companies, she shows to her students how important basic art skills are applied to various industries.

Born and raised in Southern California to Chinese immigrant parents, life was a constant struggle to find identity and figure out what is right, what is true and what is real. Her studies and creative works produced have been in pursuit of figuring out and establishing her own professional identity in the United States. Her current art project explores idioms in a humorous way. Another writing project in the works, a science fiction/fantasy novel for your readers grades 4 and up, explores some of the issues she had to deal with while growing up.
