Sean Diediker: New Directions, Video

Acclaimed painter Sean Diediker shares insight into his evolving creative journey, from classical training to a more expressive, intuitive process. Surrounded by the dramatic contrasts of the Southwest landscape, Diediker draws inspiration from human connection, personal stories, and the tension between structure and spontaneity.
