Diane Kovanda |
|
Diane has been dreaming mermaids since she was a child, living in Prague, Czech Republic. Morsky Pany, or mermaids existed far away in the ocean she had never seen, but the vodniks - the mysterious and elusive lake dwellers fed her imagination until she could move to Cape Cod and meet (and paint) her mermaid dreams. |
|
Some of Diane's paintings are inspired by people she knows, the painting shown above is inspired by her mom Jamila, others are commissioned to be a likeness of someone's child or loved one. |
|
When a mermaid comes to Diane, sometimes it's just a flash of a tail and long curled hair or at times it's a full encounter of swimming underwater with starfish and seahorses. As you encounter these beings, may you also swim with your wild divine. Imagination is the gateway to experiences beyond our wildest dreams. |

Mermaids Dream: Czech Glass Bead Bracelets, Handmade with love by Jarmila Diane. These are the mystical treasures a mermaid finds on the sea floor. Each bracelet includes glass beads which my family has collected in Prague, Czech Republic. |
