TESTIMONIALS
Diane Aka-Bashorun is a talented and gifted artist. So far, I have purchased two paintings from her to give as gifts. She created an incredible likeness of my friend's daughter I had framed for her room. The child was impressed by the rendition, and displayed it proudly in her room. I commissioned Diane to paint a piece for an inspiring professor, which turned out beautifully and was well-received. Diane's ability to capture beauty in whatever she paints, oftentimes female subjects is very appealing. Her use of color and composition is extraordinary. I had the good fortune of visiting her studio which looked like an art gallery. Diane is always seeking to learn more about art and technique to consistently improve upon her skills. She is passionate about creating art and capturing the beauty that surrounds her. Diane is very well-traveled, and finds inspiration in her immediate environment and in the myriad of places she visits. She strives to showcase the beauty in the simple things, as well as put her own twist on nature and other inspiring subjects. Diane's style has mass appeal, and I could see her pieces displayed in galleries or replicated on greeting cards. She is versatile, observant and has a remarkable gift that should be shared and enjoyed.

“In a busy world that seems to dull our senses, Diane is a talented artist that uses her gifts as an artist to make us pause and see the world from a unique perspective. Her use of bright colors, ethereal objects and portraits of women highlight how diversity should be celebrated and there is no one standard of beauty. The captivating eyes of the women in the paintings spark your imagination to wonder what life would be like with a different reflection staring back at you in the mirror. The portraits are highly intriguing as the subject gives off a quiet confidence that is not only alluring but also extremely empowering. Each painting reminds us to keep our minds open, our hearts light and our beauty bold.”

“I am such a fan of Diane’s art. I love the beautiful and different women she paints. I love the different themes and that one of them matches my mood on any given day. I also enjoy the different colors, the different paints, the different sizes and the different textures.
Looking at her paintings makes me happy. I look forward to my next home, which I am hoping will be bigger and I will have more wall space for Diane’s art.”
