About Diana
My first illustration work was for the McGRAW-HILL BOOK COMPANY, as a student illustrator under the instruction of Paul R. Wallach (Interior Design Fundamentals). I am presently working on cover artwortk, illustrating picture books, illustrating & writing my own children’s books, and publishing my poetry. I occasionally work in Graphic Design, and take on private commissions for portraiture.
