The artist currently in Ohio resides (“back home”) with her husband and her cat named Coco. Diane says that there's so much beauty in the world if only people can stop and look. As an artist, she feels the beauty when she paints cats and floral still life. To her there’s comfort associated with both. Diane is amazed by the variety of outcomes that she achieves within still life painting saying that flowers have a wraithlike beauty that both revitalize and reassure her spirit. She sees the same beauty in cats as well, but cats bring in movement and personality. She discovered this when she started painting her own cats that embody snark and sweetness perfectly. Those who love cats usually purchase ready to hang framed Diane Hoeptner art to decorate their walls/rooms. Diane is influenced by her own inner drive which requires constant feeding.
