I am Diane Farris, sometimes known as Dianekamikaze. I express myself through a variety of media. I do a radio show on WFMU - check here for archives: http://wfmu.org/playlists/DK or listen on Thursdays Noon-3pm on wfmu.org. The work you see here may be motivated by music, maybe not! I am a retired tattoo artist, and after decades of drawing other people's ideas, I thought I'd like to see what came out of me when left to my own devices.
It's a repeat performance! Actually, the great folks at The Fine Grind in Little Falls, have extended the stay of my watercolor show there through May! They are at 101 Newark Pompton Turnpike (Rte 23) just south of the Willowbrook Mall, and are open til 10pm or later 7 days a week. Here's a piece that's hanging there now. It's called TREATS and is my first foray into using rubber stamps in decades. I used to use them in my work constantly when I was at Rutgers, and thought I'd give it another shot! And it's the perfect piece to show in mentioning the Fine Grind, because they do have some yummy treats! I went there last week with my nieces Carla and Sara, and we had hot chocolate and sampled some wonderful flavored biscotti and tollhouse pie!
