Born and raised on the east coast Diane Bellisario moved to the PNW at 19 and fell in love with the people and beauty of the area. After spending a majority of her career working in the high-tech industry, she decided to leave in 2019 and explore what the next chapter would be. A chance introduction to marquetry via an online (thanks Covid!) class, she fell in love with the materials and process. She currently lives and works in West Seattle.
