I am happy to have Diana Toma as my guest for 11/11/15.

Diana Toma is an award winning Romanian visual artist currently teaching and creating in Atlanta, Georgia.  Her painting approach focuses on fast, free-flowing painting release.  Exhibiting in both Europe and continental USA, Diana has been engaging with the art community since 1995 participating in countless art projects, art camps and art-festivals, and showcasing her work in over sixty Group Exhibitions and Solo Art Shows.  Diana holds a Master Degree in Fine Arts from the prestigious Romanian University of Art and Design.

In 2013 Diana was commissioned by United States Tennis Association to create an artwork for US Open Tennis Championships theme art, and her art was reproduced on a line of tees for US Open 2013.  In 2014 her work "Motherhood-ness" was published on the cover of "Contrapositions" magazine, and two of her artworks were selected and showcased on a 30ft billboard at Bartaco, Midtown Atlanta.  This year Diana became the grand prize winner of Michaels Springtime in Paris, a national contest with over 11,000 national submissions, prize that sent her on an all-expenses-paid art trip to Paris, France.  Diana was also invited to perform as the solo juror for Kudzu Art Center annual art show "Opened Juried Exhibition 2015."  Recently Diana was spotlighted on the National Arts Program website in the October newsletter issue, and won the third place award in the NAP professional artist category.
