Diane's long career has been as eclectic as her art. She was an eighth-grade math and science teacher, electronic draftsperson, reporter, technical editor and corporate trainer. But, always, art was present in one form or another.

Her latest artistic endeavor involves transforming discarded, reclaimed and collectable objects into something entirely new and beautiful. The inspiration for her kaleidoscopes, reminiscent of old Victorian Parlor Scopes, started with a discarded brass lamp she found in a salvage yard in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Much of the metal and glass in her recycled creations comes from flea markets, garage sales, thrift shops and E-bay finds. She uses everything from curtain rods and broken jewelry to vintage glassware in her scopes. For more information on Diane's work, e-mail her at ilalane@cox.net.
