Alongside our Tarot fun we were thrilled to showcase artist Diane Morgan!
Diane Morgan's contemporary realism paintings paired perfectly with all the mysticism of the afternoon...


Diane on her work...
"My artwork is contemporary realism in the old tradition.  I work to create a narrative with the setting or theme in my artwork by utilizing traditional methods while capturing contemporary or antique subject matter...I am inspired by the people around me, the places I have travelled to and the objects in my environment...I wish to be continually inspired by the masters of yesterday and those of today!"
