DIANE MATTERN
WELDER
As a life-long artist, my career has taken many twists and turns. From corporate advertising and landscape design, I moved on to welding, concrete, glass, ceramics
and photography.
Through it all, the constants are a sense of adventure and an appreciation for the beauty of nature.
A self-described “weird welder”, I’m best known for my sculptural pieces, particularly “boings”. I bend each piece of steel cold in a vise, creating graceful spirals and ribbons.
After 15 busy years at the Hot Shops Art Center, I’m looking forward to creating new work at Clover24 Omaha.
