ARTIST STATEMENT
Diane Orchard
Diane's work includes printmaking, painting and sculpture. The abstract,
conceptual work develops from ideas related to her wide variety of
interests that include literature, music, and travel. Her work is a process
of discovery and inquiry; it is a meditative process where elimination and
editing is a key part of the work.
The prints are a combination of techniques in a process of layering color,
line and image; she combines monotypes with etching, collograph or
collage.
Diane works her paintings in mixed media, or oil, emphasizing color and
texture. The iconography is drawn from the imagination, the figure as
well as the natural environment. The combination of iconography and the
formal qualities of the medium, result in images that invite the viewer to
engage in her imaginary world.
Diane, a native of Canada, relocated to Placitas NM where she now
dedicates her time to art as well as creative writing in Spanish.
