Paris, Texas? or Paris, France? In an interesting note both artists start by interpreting the similarities of the new and the known by using a familiar icon, the Eiffel Tower.

Invited by the oldest Pastel Society in the world, founded in 1885 by masters like Edgar Degas and Mary Cassatt, a delegation of Master Pastelists from Texas, led by Diana Moya, traveled to Europe last summer to exhibit their artwork representing the USA in two of the most beautiful international exhibitions dedicated to the art of pastel in the cities of Feytiat and Saint Florent le-Vieil.
D.K. Richardson stated, “Words don’t quite convey the awe of seeing your paintings hanging among the works of other master pastelists from Europe.” Diana Moya, a pastellist for over 20 years, is currently the American Ambassador for the Societe des Pastellistes de France.
