Early life and education

Diamond was born and raised in Stuyvesant Town–Peter Cooper Village, New York. Her father, a doctor, inspired her interest in abstract art while taking her on drives to see his patients. This would later inspire her exhibition "Cityscapes." She lived across the road from fellow artist Donna Dennis.

Collections and exhibitions

In 1988, her Abstract Expressionism exhibition was displayed at the Robert Miller Gallery. Her work was described as "deceptively simple, full of hidden skills and decisions that only gradually reveal themselves."
Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the National Gallery of Australia the Brooklyn Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
