The process she uses is called the reduction method\, because she continually cuts away from one block to create a multiple color image. Her images are created in four to six steps of cutting and printing. As the print is created\, the block is destroyed\, ensuring a limited edition. She chose linoleum block printing as her medium because of its vibrant colors and textural quality.\n\nDiane is inspired by what she sees on walks and hikes through the Adirondacks\, where she lived for fifteen years\, as well Rochester\, NY\, her current home. Hallmarks of her work include mountain scenes\, white birches\, and moonlight scenes.\n\nShe takes photos for reference\, but her work represents the feelings and memories a particular place instills in her. Some of her work is specific to a location. Other pieces are a composite of several photos or derived purely from memory and imagination. Her work is Impressionistic because she works with small dots and lines of color\, as well as a sense of light and atmosphere.\n\nDiane collects birch bark and branches during her hikes\, which she incorporates into her prints. She makes birch bark frames and builds shadow boxes with birch branches included in her landscapes.\n\nDiane graduated from Nazareth University and Binghamton University with degrees in art and in art education certification. She worked as a visiting artist with Young Audiences of Rochester. She retired from Adirondack High School in Boonville\, NY where she taught art.\n\nDiane has received awards at the Clothesline Festival\, Corn Hill Art Festival\, Artists Row\, and Colorscape Chenango. She is a juried member of the Roycroft Arts and Craftsmen Guild.\n\nIn addition to the artwork of the featured artist\, the gallery is filled with paintings\, drawings\, pastels\, photographs\, fiber art\, mixed media\, glass\, digital art\, jewelry\, pottery\, woodland assemblages\, baskets\, turned items of exotic wood and fine art cards by the members of Micropolis Cooperative\, Inc.\n\nThe reception is free and open to the public and is part of a broader evening of arts programming in downtown Gloversville. ?Material Conversations\,? an exhibition at Glove Cities Gallery\, 52 Church St.\, Gloversville\, will also having a receptions from 4:30-7pm.
