[typography font=”Cantarell” size=”24″ size_format=”px”] When we switch our attention from what a subject is to how we compose it, we have unlimited potential for visual expression. Transposing colors is wonderful composing tool. Just the simple switch away from the identity of the subject expands the artist’s options. Dianne hopes that this series will help to find clarity and self confidence as well as bring home a realization the your creativity is limited only by the limits you, yourself, put on it.

Take a look at her work HERE and her book, Color Harmony HERE.
