DiTa Ondek
DiTa Ondek is an artist and poet traveling the world (Rome, Maine, Paris, Maine, Mexico) in search of color. She is known among my peers as a colorist (or the woman with pink hair). I paint pictures with words. There is a little acrylic portrait of every bird poem.
All of the poems and many birdy others have been inspired by yearly poetry retreats to Monhegan Island during fly-overs.

DiTa Ondek has been published in the Dooryards Under Monhegan Sky, Jump Lines, The Loft Anthology Lay Bare the Canvas. A Goldfinch’s Winter Garden, her first chapbook, accompanied encaustic bird assemblages. Her second chapbook, Reach up and Trap a Handful of Sky was illustrated by encaustic abstract landscapery. Her poetic aesthetic is whimsical yet controlled. She is represented by Inked Toad Press.
