In 2019 I had the incredible opportunity to work (again) with artist/novelist Paul Madonna. (@paulmadonnastudio) Paul was writing the sequel to his successful mystery series about protagonist Emit Hopper. One of the new characters Emit encounters in Paul's book "Come to Light" is a young person using found objects to create sculptural pieces. Paul asked me to slip into the character's "shoes" and create those pieces so that he could then draw them to be illustrated in the pages of the story (Exquisitely I might add!! Slide left to see Paul's drawing of this piece) This wasn't an easy task for me but it was rewarding to say the least. It took a few efforts before I got into the right "zone" and headspace of this character and was able to produce pieces that Paul could work with. In the end, the project came together beautifully. The only exception was Covid. That first pandemic year of 2020 got in the way of the two of us having the duo exhibition and book signing experience we had planned for. But nonetheless, not only was the book well received but the artworks we created found their audience too. In the case of this piece, both my assemblage and Paul's drawing of it sold to the same collector. 1. Play Your Hand, 2019 assemblage, Come to Light series by Dianne Hoffman (Sold) 2. Play Your Hand, 2020 drawing, Come to Light series by Paul Madonna (Sold) #paulmadonnastudio #paulmadonna #cometolight #emithopper #emithoppermysteryseries #artistcollaboration #collaboration #illustratednovel #illustratedbooks #allovercoffee #assemblage #assemblageart #asesmbalgeartist #foundobjectart #diannehoffmanart #bowlingpin #playyourhand #rollofthedice #artistmakethebestfriends #whenartistsunite #inspireeachother #risetotheoccasion #wordsandimages #gratitude #thisartistlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CaAd6ecPThC/?utm_medium=tumblr

I've been a fan of Paul Madonna's "All Over Coffee" ever since I moved to San Francisco. Rendered in pen and ink wash, Madonna manages to capture the poetry and quiet details we never see when we're entrenched in the noise and energy of the city. As a newcomer I had all the time in the world, no friends, and plenty of silent treks meandering through these streets that I knew had yielded up so much creativity, laughter and revolution. Madonna extracts that in so few words and panels. My fiance just got the coffee table book for his birthday and to my surprise, it's the afterword that's my favorite part of the collection. As an artist, Madonna had put so much pressure on himself for his work to encompass all his creative desires, that it had become very difficult to complete. He writes," It wasn't a question of whether I should be spending my time pursuing art, but how to do it with less internal resistance." Obviously, he's found that balance. And I've found a lesson here. I think so many of us take our jobs and identities too seriously. I think it's important to keep that spirit of quiet meandering and discovery alive. So much of being a productive human being is in wrapping our heads around life and the processes with which we choose to live it.
