Diane is an artist currently working on the Oregon Coast. She enjoys
combining many different materials and techniques in mixed media assemblages and
jewelry. In her recent mixed media work, she explores emotional and physical
aspects of place, using paper and metal maps, drawings and found objects. The
paper maps are stained with dyes she makes from vegetation found in each place.
Her jewelry is fabricated mainly from sterling silver and bronze, using
soldering and hollow-forming techniques. The metal surfaces are textured using a
variety of methods. Diane's most recent jewelry combines photo etched metal
topographical maps with found objects.
Much of Diane's work is sold through galleries and art fairs. She makes both
limited-edition and one-of-a-kind pieces. She also enjoys working on
commissioned pieces for clients that celebrate and commemorate significant
places, events, experiences and/or relationships. Diane works with individuals
and groups to create uniquely personal art by combining relevant maps, imagery,
mementos, collections, and sacred objects.
