About the Artists
Diane Goble
Diane found her way to Sisters in 2010 via New York, Miami, Chicago, and Los Angeles. She has been a creative all her life – art and writing have been part of everything she became involved with during her career, and remain so to this day in her 80s.
When Diane was 30 and a mother of three children, she drowned in a white water river rafting accident and had an extensive Near-Death Experience (NDE). It had a profound and transformational affect on her life. She would soon return to education, and has since written seven books, is currently working on a screenplay, and has pursued numerous artistic endeavors.
During the COVID lockdown, she decided it was time to try to describe her NDE with visual art – “because there really are no words...” – and learned how to do acrylic pouring. To date, she has 103 paintings that show what words can’t describe, in beautiful color palettes and otherworldly designs that turn out to be incredible meditation, stress management, and creativity-expanding tools.
Diane has two Master’s Degrees in Psychology and Clinical Hypnotherapy, and was a spiritual counselor and teacher for decades.

Cat Connor
Cat Connor has loved photography since childhood and has always been inspired by the beauty of nature. After years as a nature photographer, she discovered a passion for night photography over a decade ago, spending countless nights beneath the incredibly dark skies of California's Eastern Sierra Nevada capturing the Milky Way and star-filled landscapes.
About ten years ago, Cat moved to Sisters to be closer to family. A lifelong dream of seeing the aurora borealis became reality, and today she has the rare joy of watching the northern lights from her own backyard.
Inspired to display her images in a unique way, Cat created illuminated canvas prints that transform her photographs into warm, glowing works of art. Also available through her Etsy shop, these lighted canvases bring a sense of warmth and wonder to any space. She has also recently begun exploring AI-generated artwork, adding another creative dimension to her artistic journey.
