Diane Cardaci has been drawing and painting since she was a child. She developed her classical art training while studying at the Art Students League of New York City, Parsons School of Design, and the School of Visual Arts. Her passion for both realism and nature led her to start her professional art career working as a Natural Science Illustrator in New York City. After studying portraiture with such nationally acclaimed artists as Nelson Shanks, and John Sanden, commissioned portrait work soon became an important part of Diane’s art work. She is a Signature member of the American Society of Portrait Artists, and has been a contributing writer for the organization’s publications.
Diane is also a member of the Colored Pencil Society of America, the Graphic Artists Guild and the Illustrator's Partnership of America. She is the author of two art instruction books, published by Walter Foster.
Diane spends her summers in Umbria, located in central Italy, where she continues to be inspired by it's beauty and artistic heritage. |
