Introducing Contemporary Mixed Media Art Website of Artist C. Dianne Zweig, Influenced by Mid-Century Design

New Website: CDianneZweig.com: Mixed Media Contemporary Art 
of C. Dianne Zweig

I am delighted to announce my new ART website C. Dianne Zweig Contemporary Mixed Media Art   (cdiannezweig.com).

My loyal followers may think of me as the "Kitschy Collector" of Vintage and Retro kitchenwares, but I am also an Abstract Mixed Media artist. My work is influenced by Mid-Century palettes and designs. Of course spending decades of strolling through Antique shops and markets is also so much a part of me.

Online Portfolio of Mixed Media Contemporary Art by Artist C. Dianne Zweig

After a long wait, my son Ben, a Creative Specialist at Social Edge Consulting designed a very attractive website for me to use as an online art portfolio of my work. My site also includes a blog under the section "Updates" which keeps you informed about my exhibitions, events and art related topics. I will be regularly   sharing tips and demo's about my art process. For those of you who might be interested in taking classes or workshops in Mixed Media collage, please check out the "Workshop" section.

If you are a Mixed Media Artist, please feel free visit my new site and join in on discussions on the comment section of any of my blog posts.
