DIANE PIERI

In my studio I have many quotes to help keep me attentive, creative and emotionally human. One quote reads: What must be present are: Burning passion, unadulterated enthusiasm, perseverance, longing for a beautiful future. To me, these all touch important domains necessary for an artist and a human being.
