DIANE PAUL ARTS
My work is journalistic in that it records people and places I have experienced. I like places with action; bars, city streets, tourist attractions or even open fields. I’m attracted to the light, especially the colorful neon light in the bar, seeing how it defines and separates the groups of people is pure inspiration for me. I look for patterns in the way people interact; the way nature repeats itself; something that feels familiar. Sometimes the experience is funny, sometimes it’s a little bit scary, Either way, people and places provide subjects that never cease to amaze me.
