I love that it surprises and delights and moves me. I love that it is everywhere - everywhere!

I love the visual, the lyrical, the dance. I am awe-struck at the makers, the innovators, the daring. And I want to have it in my life everyday, one way or the other.

And so I am here, sharing the passion and joy. Putting my art out there, and sharing what motivates me. I hope you find lots of inspiration, interesting ideas, and pleasurable moment as we peruse together the awesome realm of the arts. That is my goal. Stop by often and sit a spell!

I want to paint your pet.

Join me in the celebration of the arts.

About Me…

My name is Diane Moline and I work and play in One Red Chair Studio, a sunny room in our home. I live in Bonney Lake, Washington, near Seattle, in the great Pacific Northwest. I am a mixed media artist, a retired educator, a small-business owner past and present, an inveterate traveler, and roommate of Ava and Toby, The Cats, and Bob, The Husband. I’ve built this site to reflect my lifelong love of ALL THINGS ARTS. I hope it reflects my passion for making and appreciating art and artists since I was old enough to hold a crayon. I make a lot of things in a lot of ways with a lot of different tools, and I especially enjoy the variety that mixed media offers. I sell annual calendars of my artwork as well as commissioned pet, house, and people portraits, custom travel journals, original notecards, and art for your walls. (The Shop has details.) I am happy to be living in an age where we can share and enjoy so much art, meet so many artists, and have so many ways to express our own creativity.
