TESTIMONIALS
I still feel nourished by our retreat with you in Tropea, you gave us so much of your wisdom and talent in just a short week. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. - Lisa, February 2022
The best thing I did for myself in 2021! I was rejuvenated by the beautiful surroundings, inspired by my fellow travelers, and loved every moment of the retreat itinerary. I returned home with memories that will last a lifetime, thank you so very much Diva! - Christine, Slow Art Tropea, February 2022
I’ve joined Diva for several Slow Art Retreats in Italy, and these weeks have been the most inspiring and soul nourishing vacations for me. Even though I live in Europe I get to discover new mind blowing places thanks to Diva. The last retreat I joined was in Tropea and I’m so thankful for this inspiring and creative week! Sketching, good talks, laughter, long swims, gelato, lots of toasts, dancing, and meeting the absolute loveliest ladies. Grazie mille bella Diva for making it all happen. - Alicia, February 2022
Diva is as gifted a host as she is an artist… Truly amazing! Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness she puts into each retreat makes for an unforgettable experience. I have been on two retreats and definitely see more in my future. - Megan, Slow Art Tropea, February 2022
Her classes are like a beautiful getaway. Jennifer @amblewoodstudio, January 2022
So grateful to participate in @lineacarta Diva Pyari’s class this morning. This was my first time doing a still life. So much fun! Full of gratitude. Linda @linda_lettering, December 2021
Ending the year with a joyful Zoom sketching session this AM. Thank you @lineacarta for bringing us together. - Allison @alliswillis, December 2021
I joined Diva’s sessions with much trepidation, but she is always so kind and generous, and I felt right at home! What started out as a look into watercolor with one sketchbook and a couple of old brushes has turned into a passion that I enjoy beyond anything that I have done for a long time— I can thank Diva for that. Her classes kept me going, inspired me to new challenges, and allowed me to make mistakes while learning all the time. I hope to join Diva on a retreat in 2022! - Linda @linda_lee_threads, August 2021
I loved Diva's Zoom classes this past year! Her observation narrations helped me notice details of objects including light and shadows that I didn't before taking her classes. Her travel stories made me feel like I was traveling alongside Diva through Europe! - Anjelika @anjelika, July 2021
I love my paintings done with Diva Pyari yesterday in her online sketchbook class. Such a joyful hour. - Beth Lenco, June 2020
I’m so grateful that I started my own sketchbook inspired by you Diva! Your Daily Sketch class is the highlight of my day! Thank You. - Haru @matchaconagua, May 2020
I made it to #dailysketchwithdiva today and it was just what I needed! Thank you Diva @lineacarta for ending my week on a creative note! - Michelle @merakicreative_mb, May 2020
Yesterday my daughter and I joined Diva’s #dailysketchwithdiva for one hour on her Zoom class. It was so great to watch Diva draw, paint, and teach. She is one of my favorite illustrators, and she ALSO is an amazing teacher. I have been doing watercolor for years and still l learned many new tips and tricks from her, I recommend everyone stuck at home try it! - Basak @basakillustrates, April 2020
I’ve been so enjoying scheduling my day around #dailysketchwithdiva ! - Molly @endorfman, April 2020
What a truly amazing week! This was my first experience at a retreat like this and I had no idea what to expect. From the food, to the art, to the destinations & accommodations, it was perfection! I was stretched & encouraged to go beyond my comfort zones in such a loving environment & I look forward to continuing with daily rituals started in Andros. Thank you Diva for your sweet spirit. - Mie Hartmann @miehartmann, Greece 2019
Every day I think of the blue green sea, the food, the company… What a trip! ♡ Scott & I cannot thank you enough ♡ - Melinda Koppel, Greece 2019
Diva’s energy she so effortlessly exudes was probably the most inspiring aspect of this adventure. Her smile & eyes, along with her open & artistic spirit, makes all the difference in this experience. Not to mention Diva’s abundant talent!! P.S. The wish ceremony was my favorite ♡ - Hannah @hannahchiharu, Greece 2019
What I loved about Greece and all your retreats is the beautiful space you create for us (me) to be my complete self without the pressure to be or do anything that I am not screaming “YES” to. I think that’s because of your big heart. Such space is so rare & precious as we get older with more & more responsibilities, so thank you. - Sara @sparklemonkeys, Greece 2019
Oh Diva - your retreat was the most relaxing soul filling experience. You are so organized & every little detail has been thought through: The food, workshops, location & lodging. It is a once in a lifetime experience! You make everyone feel so welcome & included. I feel so grateful & thankful to have experienced Greece with you & the group. - Kimi Nam @kimi.nam, Greece 2019
The Marrakech trip was everything I hoped for and so much more - magical, life changing. I can’t wait for another trip with Diva!! - Kim Cooper, 2018
Morocco is such a vibrant place for art and self-discovery. I had so much fun seeing all the colors, life, art and meeting wonderful and creative souls on this trip that Diva carefully planned for us. I will definitely be back for more and can’t wait to see what Diva has in store for me in other corners of the world! - Sara Wang, 2018
Marrakesh was all I expected and more! I had the most wonderful time meeting new people and forging new friendships all the while discovering the magic of this part of the world. Thanking Diva for bringing me to Marrakesh and entrusting me to shoot her Slow Art Retreat, I had a fantastic week and look forward to our next adventure together! - Lavinia Cernău, Photographer, 2018
I love to think back to this wonderful magical week in Sicily. It was so inspiring. Diva put so much love into every detail. - Alicia Etienne, 2017
It was a magical 6 days that surpassed my wildest expectations. Diva and Carolyn - I felt truly blessed to be in your class and company! A million thanks is not enough Diva, I'm going to carry the hopes and dreams, friendships and lessons from Sicily with me for a very long time. Eternally grateful! - Christine @punch.y (Salina, Sicily Retreat), 2017

Pure Magic. - Rae @raedunn (Salina, Sicily Retreat), 2017
Beautiful locale, inspiring art workshops, wonderful new friends, delicious meals, fun, laughter, relaxation... It was the perfect vacation I didn't want to end. Diva takes great care in creating a unique and memorable experience for attendees. I can't wait for the next one! - Denise Nguyen (Salina, Sicily Retreat), 2017
Lovely Diva, by putting thought into every detail of your classes and retreats you create a remarkable space where it is easy for us to flourish! I feel lucky to call you friend and soul sister! - Dori @mzdori (Salina, Sicily Retreat), 2017
I anxiously signed up for Diva's 2017 Slow Art Retreat solo, not sure what to expect other than some sun and art. What I got was so much more! It was a life changing experience for me. Diva created such a safe, relaxing and creative space, it gave me the perfect opportunity to recenter and reconnect with myself and also to open myself up to connect with other beautiful souls that I met on the retreat. The retreat also opened my eyes to not just art, but also how beautiful each moment in life can be if you simply slow down and take a breath. I left the retreat feeling refreshed, renewed, centered, and with new friends that I know I will have a special connection with for life. - Sara Wang (Salina, Sicily Retreat), 2017
When can we start planning the next one? - Carolyn @theslowtraveler (Salina, Sicily Retreat) 2017
Diva's very personal and thoughtful approach (not to mention her great taste) to the Slow Art Retreat on Salina Island, Sicily, made the experience unique and special for everyone. And what a great group of talented women she brought together! It was a beautiful time I'll always remember! - Lana Burroughs (Salina, Sicily Retreat), 2017
I can't thank you enough Diva for your thoughtful planning of the slow art retreat. It was perfect. I've been telling all my friends, and I'm so happy to hear about a possible next retreat Diva! Perfetto. - Denise @lotusology (Salina, Sicily Retreat), 2017
Diva's Slow Art Retreat on the Amalfi Coast was the trip of a lifetime! It was so amazing that I'm going again this year! - Dori Melton (Atrani, Amalfi Coast Retreat), 2017
My colleague & I took Diva's Beginning Calligraphy workshop and loved it. I take a ton of workshops, and not only was this very special for all the beautiful materials and depth of information, but Diva made US feel special for being there. Thank you Diva! - Handcraft Studio School student, 01/2017

Thank you again so much for today’s class! Everything about your class was so lovingly thought out and presented, from the opening deep breathing ritual—what a mindful way to begin the class. I’ve been wanting to take your calligraphy course for some time, and I wondered how this date would work, right in the midst of holiday prep. But it was exactly what I needed. I just loved it. I can’t wait to arrange all my new tools and begin practicing. Thanks again— I’ll stay tuned for a Level 2 class! - Becky Jenab, 12/2015

Pretty plates! Bought a plate for each letter of our last name to display in my hutch and I am beyond pleased with how wonderful these plates are. They add such a fun touch to the whole room. Thanks for making the cutest stuff!!! (Anthropologie review) - WMeno, 02/2017
I ordered 10 of these plates to be used for appetizers & snacks. They are so cute and interesting that I'll also be keeping one or two up for display. I'm really happy with them! (Anthropologie review) - Augbuck, 02/2017
Versatile and adorable! I have 4 of these plates and adore them. The neutral color made them a great addition to our dishes, and the kids love them. The size is nice for a snack around the house, and for serving desserts (as well as canapes, obviously!). My husband has put them in the washer accidentally with no incidents. Love 'em.
