I am fascinated by how we learn and evolve as creative beings. The creative process is full of rich opportunities to grow and understand our shared experience of being in the world. I know, and constantly witness in others, how the process of making with our hands has the ability to transform us. My ability to navigate my life experiences and move into new territory over the years has deepened my creativity and teaching in ways I could not have imagined. It is my best creative work. -Diane
