Business Overview

Fariba Sasson, local mom of three, is the founder of Color Bundles. She is a creative artist who loves to teach. One can attribute Fariba's unique and special art creations to her creativity and experience. Over seven years, she shared and taught her art techniques at the local schools as a volunteer. Fariba brings this teaching experience to her art classes at Color Bundles. Dijana's career began as an art historian, working in a London gallery, but she has always painted for pleasure. During her time in London she studied sculpture at Harrow College and took figure drawing classes. She was part of the Holland Park Artist Group and exhibited her paintings and sculpture through private exhibitions and at The Old Church Gallery in Chelsea.She moved to California in 1998 where she studied anatomical drawing, print making and sculpture metal casting at Las Positas College and DVC in San Ramon and Pleasant Hill. She joined the workshop of well-known artist and teacher Oneida Stowe in 1999. Her studio is situated in the Arsenal building which is a part of historical Benicia. Her paintings are regularly exhibited in the galleries and museums in Oakland, Sacramento, Benicia, London and Rovinj(Croatia). Dijana paints and draws in variety of media to boost her inspiration. She often works with photography as the first stage of the creative process, using digital photographs as preliminary studies and combining these with her own life drawings. I grew up in Oakland and Alameda, and earned a B.A. in Art with Honors from California State University, Hayward (now Cal State East Bay). Over the last 10 years or so I have enjoyed continuing my art education at Diablo Valley College (DVC).As a child, I was always painting or creating something, and often used the view outside my window as inspiration. My environment still influences me and my art, as do childhood and family memories. Painting with acrylic, watercolor, or collage, I create landscapes and figurative works based on my memories and environment. I am interested in teaching children about art, and have volunteered and assisted in art classes at local grammar schools, have created art lessons and projects for home-schooled children. My art studio is in the historic arsenal in Benicia, and I am a member of Arts Benicia, participating in their member shows at the Arts Benicia Gallery. In 2004 I received an Award of Excellence for my watercolor in the Fine Art Exhibition at the California State Fair, and received the President's Award for Painting in 2010 at the DVC student show. DVC purchased my painting for their permanent collection. I also exhibited in the juried show "Local Voice" at the Bedford Gallery in the Lesher Center in Walnut Creek Read more
