Colleagues describe her as "When a publisher wanted my first story, I knew that Dianne would be the perfect person to illustrate it. Her technique is realistic and yet fanciful. I love her paintings. I can say the same about her writing. She weaves a story like she paints, with color, space, and imagination." and "Oddly, while I'm not a fan of fantasy, and have had only minimal connection with teenage boys, I became totally engrossed in Ian's Realm. It all boils down to it being a "good read," containing universal issues that even captivated a 65 year old female with a preference for non-fiction. Totally enjoyed the book."
