Diane Pieri’s creative vision is rooted in bringing joy and beauty to viewers, with the intention of releasing that sense of happiness into the very air around them. She draws inspiration from the peacock, a powerful symbol across many cultures representing beauty, grace, new beginnings, and spiritual awakening.

Pieri’s latest works embody all of these layered meanings through her depiction of peacocks.

See Peacock Landscapes and other Joyful Moments this May. And be sure to join us for the opening reception this Thursday, May 7th from 6-8 PM & for the Artist Talk with Diane Perri on May 28th, 6-8 PM at the Cope House Gallery (1 Awbury Rd, Philadelphia, PA).
