Artistic Experiment...



As artists we are constantly working on 
new ways to express our vision... Take a look and let me know 
what you think...love people watching .... love painting and photographing people
but it is hard to make them look alive and breathing ... so that is what this little adventure 
is about.

I want to hold your hand









For a little over a year I have been working on putting together a collection of photos on how we touch each other.  Here are just a few from the collection.  I would love to hear what you think, it looks as though I will be exhibiting these in Southern California (Palm Springs) this February.
As soon as everything is finalized I will release the information to all of you.  Wish me luck, and if you want to see more just go to my web site www.DianePatricia.com .

Top 3 Designs to Personalize Your Computer

As many of you know I have
started designing skins that are used
to personalize your computer.


I wanted to thank everyone for helping make
these 3 designs my top sellers



I so appreciate your using my work to
personalize your computer or phone
and to show your own style.


I came up with this idea because I spend a great deal of time in coffee shops working on computer and I wanted my precious Apple Computer
to have its own look. These designs are custom cut to fit whatever
computer, phone or mp3 player you may have. And if by chance
you have an Apple computer, there is a little perferation where the apple logo is
so that you can easily remove that part of the design and let your apple logo show thru. By the way I have on my computer another design of mine and when I was at a lecture in the Apple Store in Chicago the instructor stopped the lecture to find out "How did you get the most beautiful computer I ever saw?"
If you are interested in seeing these 3 designs and all my other designs just click on
I can also personalize a design for you, your company, whatever just contact me
