Teaser quotes from interview with Diane Rappisi, Feature Artist for May 2017

"I do use vivid colors – they are so joyful to work with! My color selections are based on pure observation – letting go of expectations such as “this is a shadow so it must go grayer.”

"training, instinct and observation - I think our creative choices and personal expression come from a combination of all three of them"

"After preparing ourselves with information and with many hours of repetitive practice, we can reach a point when the technical how-to’s cease to be the total focus . . . THAT is the moment when your own voice begins to surface – and then you have found your niche, your unique place in the artistic landscape"
