Diane W Naab is an artist and writer. Her love of travel takes her often to Europe, and always Paris. Her poetry and short stories have appeared in Inside Passages, Southeast Alaska's annual literary review; Poetry Corners, published by the Arts & Humanities Bainbridge; and in The Poet's Corner of My Edmonds News. Her visual art and poetry are often a part of the Ars Poetica event promoted by the Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network (BARN) on Bainbridge Island, and her artwork has been displayed at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. When she is not choosing the perfect white wine to accompany raw oysters in Paris, attending cooking classes in Spain, Italy, and France, or hosting a writing critique group, Diane lives the creative life a ferry ride from Seattle. She counts owning an art gallery and bistro in Ketchikan, Alaska as one of her favorite adventures.Diane lives near Seattle with her husband, who shares her passion for good books and great travel.
