Throughout her career, Diana Page has exhibited her work extensively and has participated in significant events and collaborations. A proud moment was her involvement in a collaborative community project, designing carpets for the Judges' Chambers of South Africa's New Constitutional Court.

Diana's work has been showcased in various prestigious venues. In 2024 she was selected for Women in Art Fair held at the Mall Galleries, London. The recent touring exhibition Walking on a Rim of Light brought together her artistic trajectory, spanning South Africa and Turkey, interweaving drawing, performance, and painting. Notably, the tour featured a museum show at Oliewenhuis in Bloemfontein.

Another noteworthy exhibition, Trans-Idyllic, curated by Lewis Johnson in Istanbul, drew connections between Diana's work and post-modern painters such as Sigmar Polke. Furthermore, Akıs Flow, curated by Jochen Proehl at BAUART, presented the flow of Diana's work through a digital presentation of her sketchbooks alongside her paintings.

These accomplishments and exhibitions have solidified Diana Page'sreputation as an artist who continually explores new artistic territories, diverse creative mediums, and inspires others through her evocative works.
