Diane Stiglich earned her B.A. in art from the University of Texas at Dallas and M.F.A. from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. She has shown paintings in numerous shows in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas. She has lived in Hoboken almost continuously since 1983, where she owns the Luna Rosa Home store. She is impassioned by memory and its nuances and also by how the ordinary can appear extraordinary. Diane negotiates life between the art studio, the martial arts studio, the store, the town and home, and she likes to write about them all. “Have you seen Cindy Sleigh? and other stories” is her first book.
