Publication and Videos
“When Words Fail,” a video tape of Diane and her 90 year old mother painting collaboratively. Diane’s mother suffers from Alzheimer dementia but retains her aesthetic sense. The purpose of the tape is to share with other families how relationships can be strengthened through art.(The tape is produced by Donna Kuttner, 2001.)
Published author of “A Doll’s Birth and How I Helped,” Doll Reader, July 1991. Here I tell a story of my early interactive process. I was allowed to help design mother’s dolls.
Two paintings on silk, "Me As A Pillow" and "Shore Birds,” were on the cover of Graduate Woman, July/August 1980. The cover featured 17 art works from the 88 slides in a slide/tape with narrative script, an EFP Unusual Projects Grant. The objective was to show Pacific Northwest Women's art.

Dear Diane, I do not know if you remember, but you painted one of my sons in a life drawing session. It was beautiful and in vibrant colors and made him really look like he was. We love that painting and have framed it and have it hanging in a place of honor. My son, Jorin, passed away this summer after two months on hospice care. We decided to make an altar for his memorial celebration on the gazebo under the grape arbor. The centerpiece for this altar was your painting of him. Many people admired the likeness and asked who painted it. Is was a beautiful memorial and just like he would have wanted. Thank you for the lovely work you did on this and know that you have brought a special blessing to our home.
Love,
Toni
Toni, I am sad to hear your son Jorin passed away. I know he had a rough time and I am honored to hear my painting has become so meaningful to your family.
