Diane currently teaches jewelry classes at The Art Guild of Rural Texas in Fayetteville, Texas and began teaching nationally last year at Adorn Me! 2010. She started this artistic journey almost 7 years ago and what began as a whim has now developed into a full time passion. She finds her love for using vintage jewelry, especially vintage rhinestones in her designs, has become an ever constant source of inspiration.
When not designing jewelry, her love for photography and digital art constantly keep her preoccupied.
Diane has been published in Belle Armoire Jewelry, Marie, Somerset Memories, Jewelry Affaire and Artful Blogger, and Jewelry the zine. She was blessed to be a Guest Curator for Crescendoh.com, sharing her story of how Art Saves in May, 2010.
Diane plans on retiring from her full time job at the end of 2010. She and her husband love to RV, so 2011 looks to be the beginning of a new day, as she plans on traveling and teaching more classes across the country.
Diane currently sells her original designs at Nothing Ordinary Antiques & Oddities in Bellville, Texas and has expanded to Lambs & Ivy Boutique in Crestline, California.
