Dianne Kadah is a life-long artist and holds a BFA in Fine Art Photography and Computer Graphics from Syracuse University. She has been a practicing artist for over thirty years. She has more recently studied the craft of Life Coaching during which time she struck upon the concept of combining her passion for Fine Art Photography with inspirational messages to motivate people to live life more fully; lives filled with purpose and impassioned by their life-long dreams.
In 2005 she founded the company Diva Designed to offer her images (combined with inspired quotes, and other photographic products) to a wider public to help uplift and inspire people. Her gift for seeing the beauty that others pass by, or the deeper significance in imagery we might refer to as iconographic, is what gives her images a richness and a depth this is at once captivating and alluring.
They cause us to linger and pause, rather than just glance at them in passing without further thought. The images do indeed stand on their own, but when combined with the words of so many philosophers, writers, poets, sages and saints past and present, they give us a remarkable tool to use for daily reflections, inspiration, and motivation.
She has spent the last 10+ years deeply committed to a life of spiritual practices and contemplation. This has given her a centering and balance that is not of a worldly life, but of the life Divine for which she feels she owes much love and gratitude. Much of her work and a portion of those proceeds generated are dedicated and donated to causes that she feels protect, preserve and uplift the planet and all its sentient and insentient beings.
