Who is Diana Teeters?

Who is Diana Teeters now? I am a self-proclaimed artist. Having retired from a diverse array of careers, it’s time.

I'm beginning the seventh decade in this life.  I have been a computer programmer, a  professional bowler, an online entrepreneur, a nature photographer, and a photoblogger.  I feel a need to slow my life down; slow seems to be my new speed these days anyway, and let my inherent creative expression be released and shared with you here on the world wide web.

Most of the photographic art found on this site came from a curated collection of a decade of images, particularly ones posted to my photo blog:  A Bloom a Day, which I started on February 14, 2014, and still post today.

It was back then when I began my personal healing journey. I connected with my creative spirit, letting the art just happen. I started experimenting with different digital processes and created and shared my work openly with little or no self-judgment.  Now, my most eccentric past, present, and future images have a dedicated home on this site. 

Who am I spiritually?

I have been a dedicated student of ACIM for many years now. More recently, my study has reached a deeper level of participation, leading to a better understanding that I do not walk alone on my journey of self-discovery and healing.

"God goes with me wherever I go." 

I read or listen to the text daily and practice the lessons in the workbook. I also read from a handful of different spiritual devotionals before my meditation.

Because I am an Enneagram type One, a notecard on my meditation table reminds me of this:

“May I be at ease. May I breathe peacefully. May I find freedom in rest.”  (Christopher Heuertz, The Sacred Enneagram)

My spiritual practices keep me deeply connected to the Holy Spirit, where I remember I am a child of God. This knowing brings forth love and forgiveness into every aspect of my life.

Who am I as an artist?

I'm exploring several different avenues (photographic art, motion art, and video making),

I am a photographer who is not a purist and an artist who is not a conventionalist. I’m an artist without an official category box yet. Let’s say this synergy creates a new art category between a photograph and a painting called a paintograph. That would make me a paintographer!

I’m not sure where this artistic journey will take me, but I’m willing to be led by this renewed spiritual energy. I feel my art is happening through me, which is tremendously exciting!
