SUMMARY:First Friday Event
DESCRIPTION: \n \n\nEach of my paintings and photographs represents 
 a moment of time in space. Each one is a barometer of how I was feelin
 g at that moment and what was important to me during that time.    
 Diana Suskind\nDiana Suskind’s art represents the stories of her lif
 e. A line of whimsical greeting cards, for instance, draws upon her ye
 ars of work with infants and toddlers using the Educaring™ approach,
  as well as her experiences using creative arts to teach early childho
 od education at Fitchburg State University. Her artwork is influenced 
 particularly by her travels around the world as a Fulbright Senior Sch
 olar — working in hospitals, orphanages and schools in developing na
 tions to create respectful interactions with children.  \nIn many of
  her pieces, she invokes the native animals from the countries she has
  visited: the roosters who woke her up in Belize; the giraffes, monkey
 s and elephants from South Africa; the turtles she swam with in Fiji. 
 On a personal level, she reveals Rielee, her pet cat, and also her exp
 erience with nature at the Otisco Lake family cottage, where she spent
  summers while growing up and family time today. In summary, Diana Sus
 kind’s work weaves together the loves of her life: children, fantasy
  and simple pleasures. “I see the world in all its dimensions,” sh
 e says. “An English garden is not just an object in space; it is the
  trees around the garden, and how the whole space affects mood and beh
 avior.\nThe artist studied oil painting and photography at Lorenzo De 
 Medici in Florence, Italy, as a recipient of the Marion Jasper Whiting
  Foundation Grant and later as a private student.\nNamed Artist of the
