| 关于此艺术家 |
Having been trained first as an architect and photographer, Diana has the vantage point of an intimacy with space and nature, which is made evident through her use of a bold stroke and a quick eye.
Diana's interest in art and architecture may have started after she assisted her father on a photographic assignment for the National Geographic. Diana went on to apprentice as a photographer with the magazine. She later became a registered architect.
Her formal studies in art and architecture initially took her to Paris with Hollins College where she received a degree in Art History. She then went on to Catholic University where she received her Masters of Architecture. She studied sculpture at the Corcoran School of Art, Loveland Academy of Fine Arts and Scottsdale Artists' School.
Living in Virginia and travelling worldwide affords Diana the opportunity to catalogue the nature which is so vital to her work. As an architect and artist, she is keenly aware of the plasticity of space. Her sculpture is dynamic and has the vantage point of an intimacy with nature which could only be captured through experience.
Diana's bronzes are found in private collections and gardens throughout the United States, Europe, and Africa. |

Still Life With Pears
Bronze (Cire Perdue) 16.5 H x 43 L x 18 W |
|
So much of my interest in art comes from the process of discovery. I have always been attracted to pears because of their sensuous forms. While working on this sculpture I realized that each pear had its own distinct personality depending upon the angle in which it was positioned. I underlined this individuality by using different colored patinas for each pear.
Placed in a semi-circle the group of pears implied a conversation. I used the humming bird and its beak as a counterpoint to the pears' stems to reinforce this idea.

The enigmatic fox is the master of camouflage. I have chosen to show how easily he slinks along, trying to meld into the landscape.

THE BLUE GUITAR
The man bent over his guitar
A shearsman of sorts. The day was green
They said. " You have a blue guitar
You do not play things as they are"
The man replied, "Things as they are
Are changed upon the blue guitar"
And they said then, " But play, you must,
A tune beyond us, yet ourselves"
A tune upon the blue guitar
Of things exactly as they are"
—Wallace Stevens

Bronze (Cire Perdue) 58.5 H x 33 L x 33 W |

I have come to understand art as the exploration of boundaries. In architecture these boundaries are described as "edge conditions". It is the negative space created between forms which is the essence of a building or a garden. Sculpture and painting explore these boundaries through expression (gesture or image) and emotion (memory). Lawrence Thornton's poem talks about the image of a face and memory of a voice. Years ago the image of the work horse and small boy imprinted itself upon me. What I remember is the silent regard they had for each other; boundaries between gesture and memory.
I feel that the work horse would be a more appropriate symbol of America because it represents the grueling physical labor that went into building the agrarian economy which is the true back bone of our heritage.

Grasshopper Vase
Bronze (Cire Perdue) 44.5 H x 18 L x 20 W |
|
The Art Deco period emphasized the stylized geometry of decorative art. Insects continue to push my imagination and here the exaggerated gossamer antennae of the grasshopper hover protectively over a bird's nest.
Edition/12 each signed and numbered.
