From Diane:
This is my first written writing blog ever. Yeah!
I am a multi-media artist and art educator. In my paintings I try to capture the spaces between speech and silence in a narrative way through play-filled whimsical settings. For the past 12 years I have been painting full time and show my work nationally.
I also love to teach! I have taught at Seattle Pacific University, Bellevue School District, Eton Montessori, Kirkland Art Center, Pratt Arts, and the Bellevue Art Museum. In the summers I run an art school for children “Go Go with Van Gogh.”
I live in West Seattle and my studio is in Ballard, WA. When I am not in the studio you can find me biking or hiking. I have been blessed with two beautiful daughters who are outdoor enthusiasts living in Hood River, OR.
I wanted to announce my 2nd online class:

“TableTop” Still Life: Drawing and Painting
via www.carlasonheim.com – offered starting November 11th.
Yeah for Traditional Still Life painting from artists that came before us
to record an event that happens daily —
gathering loved ones to share in a meal and intimacy.
Make your moments concrete in your world
by recording them in drawings and building skills that grow into paintings.
See * Explore * Experience * Color * Create
Today is your day to rise up
& participate in with a community of incredible people
that come out and “play” together – Delightfully being more for you.
