Diana Y. Paul has two passions: printmaking and writing. Both require carefully composing, revealing in clean muted tones in an understated and elegant way. These two creative processes--one visual, the other verbal-- are intertwined and with this belief Diana has completed her first novel, Unhealed Wound. Diana's focus is always on a Japanese aesthetic-- a Buddhist sensibility--combined with a mixed media approach to the image, usually an organic one, with an element of surprise or the unexpected. Food and other organic themes are her favorites. Her art has been exhibited in California, Hawaii, and Japan and featured in the art journals Noctua Review, Grey Sparrow, Orion, Imitation Fruit, Blood Lotus, Ascent Aspirations and 5 x 5.
