About the Artist
After many years of painting, a nationally known artist, Diane Di Bernardino Sanborn, is engaged in a visual dialog with her work. She is interested in how they communicate with her audience. Her knowledge of color and composition is at the forefront of her visual solutions. Although her formal concerns are abstract, recently she is incorporating the figure.
Diane moves in and out of themes, media, and series, however, her work has been described as always staying true to her palette and to genuine instincts.
Her degrees include an M.F.A. in Drawing and Painting, from Governors State University IL, a BS in Art Education from Illinois State University and an Associates of Art Degree in Art Transfer Studies, Triton College, IL. She had the opportunity to study with Professors Emeritus, Harold Gregor and Kenneth Holder during her stay at ISU.
She is the recipient of an Ox-Bow residency through the School of the Art Institute, and has been nominated from the AZ Governors Best in Arts Education. In 2018, she was awarded an artist residency at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, VA.
Her work is nationally recognized and has been shown in several university galleries as well as in public and private collections.
