			Dany (Danielle) Pierard-Deviche \| Phoenix, AZ
		Graduated:	2006
		Major:	Art, Painting
		About me:	Image Maker, Story Teller, Accent Giver. My passion is to create diptychs, triptychs and small series of drawings and paintings that, within each group, are linked by theme/story, style, type of beauty, and media. As my works offer my interpretation of concepts or stories, they each have a title. But my imagery is clear, and thus viewers can easily bypass my words and interpret my artwork according to their own sensitivities. For a tile in this mosaic I chose "Homage to Magritte".
