Diana Jean Puglisi received her BFA with a concentration in painting from William Paterson University in January 2011. She contributed four years to strengthening the community within William Paterson University’s College of the Arts through the Student Art Association. After graduating, Diana continues to develop her paintings and drawings inspired by the patterns in the man-made and natural world that surrounds her. Diana was accepted to Virginia Commonwealth’s 2011 Summer Studio Program taught by contemporary performance artist Nigel Rolfe. The program continued to develop her ideas of painting through new media such as performance, photography and installation.
Artist Statement:
On a luminous day, leaves block light and create patterns that mask the sky. Patterns are found in grass, created by the repetition of a blade, similar to how bark grows on trees, the way birds fly, how water ripples, the hives of a bee, the skin on an animal, and even the sediments in the depths of the ground. Mechanically, pattern is present in machinery and the mass-production of objects. Whether man-made or natural, patterns are embedded into our psyche. Patterns can infinitely be interpreted, manipulated, and reinvented.

Born and raised in Botswana, Southern Africa, I fell in love with the idea of one day living in America. Although I had no idea photography was something one could pick as a career, I was certainly destined for it. As an avid reader, I escaped into Barbara Cartland’s romance novels delighting at the fantasy of love. I read Shakespeare, self help and cook books. I remember being so bold and ambitious. Curious about everything…
At 17, I moved to Washington DC. I studied ‘sensible’ courses graduating with a Bachelors in Business in 2005. It was very shortly after gradation that I picked up a camera, and have not looked back. I began my career in 2007 as a freelance photographer working for modeling agencies, shooting actors, musicians and models. My studio has been featured in CBS’s Inside Edition Television show and I have worked with some really amazing people in the music industry and some great nation brands. In 2010 I created a boutique Wedding Photography addition to my business. As a Wedding Photographer based out of New Jersey, I have found the most joy in my work. I cry’s at almost every wedding, and I’m obsessed with the details. I now work as a NJ Wedding Photographer, focusing on the tales I remember in the fluffy romance novels I was so addicted to as a young teen. I hope to live up to those stories in the work I now love to do.

I was born in South Korea, and I have had an interest in photography for more than twenty years. I am influenced by photographers like Ralph Gibson and Walker Evans. In reference to my black and white photography, I am drawn to simplicity and tonality, as well as to grain and texture. I tend to photograph detail rather than the whole. I am also drawn to how images come together from the physical world into the art realm, which can be illusionary. I am fascinated in that photographs and artistic imagery are not always what they seem. When you look through the camera’s eye, the image always transforms into something unique when viewed in it’s final form.
