About Miss Diana
I focus on conveying whatever emotion I am feeling at the time I'm creating. I'm told no two pieces of mine look alike... making each piece a true original. We experience something new everyday that should affect the way we live- I choose to reflect that in my art.Links

Can’t stop listening to Bedouin Soundclash.
Last night I watched the movie Hunger, directed by Steve McQueen.
I was very shaken up after the movie and couldn’t stop thinking about it. Not only was the movie intensely filmed but it showed me things I’ve never quite reacted to before due to my ignorance of exactly how recent happenings like this have happened.
The movie is based on protests from IRA militants in the 1980’s which inevitably lead to Bobby Sands going on a hunger strike (as well as ten other prisoners), a very painful and agonizing death that he strongly felt was necessary for change.
Hunger strike is a non-violent resistance to provoke guilty emotions, proven more powerful than protesting with violence, which is incredibly sad but admirable. Several people died during the Anglo-Irish War in the 1920’s while on hunger strike but it goes as far back as the days of St. Patrick.
I highly recommend watching the movie, it will move and inspire a desire in you to understand how much humans are worth. A community, rights and lives are worth fighting for.
I also recommend watching the german film Goodbye Lenin! (my favorite film) for a different perspective on the impact the Berlin Wall had and sadly, how recent it was torn down.
This is the sketch Jerry and I are using for a Mural painting in a little girls room.
Painting starts next week, I’ll post pictures then!
MUGSHOT!
The start of a new painting. Still has a ways to go! It is my biggest piece to date.
Did this drawing in my sketchbook inbetween paintings. I haven’t thought of a title yet but I think it means so many things.
An old drawing I’ve come across, did it a few months ago now.
I’ve just begun listening to Andrew Bird. Great music to listen to while working on art.
Some leaves I painted today, they look like hearts- anatomical and symbolic.
