~Dion Dior~

When you gaze upon Dion's artwork you can see so many beautiful elements,colors and textures! I just adore her work and love the versatility and the uniqueness she brings to the pages that she paints upon. 

"My mother says I was born with a paintbrush in my hand, and when I look back at my life, that was probably true. I was born and raised by the sea in Australia where the treasure to be found in a rock pool was more valuable than the crown jewels. As long as I can remember I've been making art. After graduating from college I spent several jam-packed decades working and traveling the world as a woman alone, exploring, sketching and writing about my life-changing experiences. I met my husband on the roof of the world, trekking to Mt Everest Base Camp. Two years later our daughter was born, and four years after that our son arrived--16 weeks premature.

Today, I live far from my homeland down-under in rural Iowa, where my attempts at growing a veggie garden have been disastrous. I am a mother; artist; writer; and teacher, and that paintbrush is still in my hand. I have dozens of sketchbooks, canvases, and surfaces that are testament to my insatiable appetite for creating. I love color and I particularly love shimmer. I draw most of my inspiration from nature and use her many faces to fuel my work. My journals and sketchbooks are filled with luscious, shimmering pages; they are treasured expressions of my endless adventures.

About 3 years ago, I turned my passion for art into a business that focuses on online workshops, retreats, and studio classes. Please visit my blog at http://www.diondior.blogspot.com/and if you're so inclined, join me on one of my many art adventures as we swim in a colorful, silky, twinkling ocean of shimmer".

Thank so much Dion for sharing your beautiful creative self with us!!
