Oop.. I forgot about social media because I was having too much fun painting. Let me briefly return to tell you about an event:

This weekend you can find me at Sac Comic Con Artist Alley table 65. I’ll have prints of two new paintings that I haven’t shared yet. Stop by if you plan to be there 🤍

Let’s switch things up a bit from paintings. Here’s a linoleum block print I made two-ish years ago

“Fleeting Youth” 18x14

So many of you were excited about the cinnamon snail in my sketch that I feel inclined to share this work in progress! Just finished painting the drizzle today and hope to work on the actual snail tomorrow 🐌

“A Knock on Your Window” oil painting with custom painted frame

This was one of the first layered paintings I made! It was previously a cracker mirror that I disassembled and turned into artwork

One of my goals this year is to make art that sparks joy in myself and others. I hope to bring some light during turbulent times so please enjoy a couple silly sketches that I plan to turn into paintings in the near future. I hope to have them complete for SacCon in March and SacAnime Spring.

Companion post to the painting I shared yesterday. For this piece I handpainted a custom window frame and I think it pulls the whole image together nicely.

Hello fellow traveler! Thank you for stopping by to see my art.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Diana Ormanzhi and I’m an artist from Sacramento, CA. I specialize in oil painting in the style of “magical realism.”

In my free time, I like to read books, play video games, hike, and camp!
