It was Marina Dieul's fine paintings that attracted me to this video
Marina Dieul was born in France. She showed great interest in painting and drawing from an early age, and her family encouraged her vocation. In early 2000, she moved to Montreal, Canada, where she now lives. She has since studied with Tim Stotz and Michelle Tully, former students of Ted Seth Jacobs. Her work has received numerous awards and honors, including the Kingston Prize, Salon International ( Greenhouse Gallery), the Artist Magazine, and has been extensively profiled in International Artist Magazine, among others. "Stroke of Genius " #2 and #3 (published by North Light Books) also features her work.
Most recently she won the William Bouguereau Best of Show Award, and first place in the drawing category at the Art Renewal Center Salon, and the Best of Show in the "Inspiring Figures" exhibition (Butler Institute of American Art). She is a member of the Portrait Society of Canada, the Portrait Society of America, and the International Guild of Realism.

Diversity is Beautiful
Today, for my company, I'm manning a booth for Pittsburgh PrideFest in the streets. I am thrilled that the company is a key sponsor for this event! Every time I think of Pride, and our wonderful GLBTQ community, I think of this song, by Christina Aguilera, who is a Pittsburgh native.
May each of us remember how lovely we are in our own identity, our own uniqueness.
