Testimonials

*Here’s an unsolicited note Diane received regarding one of her shows

“While working out yesterday at East Boulder Rec Center I truly enjoyed seeing your pastels. The one with the word moraine in the title especially attracted me. Your ability using white tones, esp. in the snow and sky, is remarkable. So lush and rich. It is rare that I enjoy landscapes. They usually pale beside the real thing. Your’s however have a life of their own, full of vitality. They felt to me alive in and of themselves apart from the reality they depict. Thank you again. Sincerely, Glenn Greenberg”

*Nancy Keys, who has purchased paintings from Diane, emailed this comment:
“We have been to several Arts and Crafts Festivals and Art Shows here in South Miami and I have seen nothing that compares to your work. Nothing I was tempted to buy. I love your colors, style, and you have me spoiled.”

*Kate Roberts, owner of the Umoja Gallery in Boulder Colorado , emailed this comment:
“Thank you so much for stopping at Umoja Gallery this morning. I was completely delighted when I looked at your images of your paintings. As a garden photographer, I really appreciate the flower and garden paintings. Beautiful work!”
