Biography
Diane has been building and engraving bits, spurs, trophy belt buckles, saddle silver, and jewelry for nearly 20 years. Her work has won numerous awards and is displayed in museums and art galleries from Alpine, Texas, to Alberta, Canada, including the Folklife Center in Elko, Nevada, and Sun Valley Center for the Arts, Sun Valley, Idaho. In 2003, Diane was selected Engraver of the Year by the Academy of Western Artists. Her engraving style is traditional western scroll and bright cut, but she adds special elements from her other engraving work including firearms engraving. The result is both traditional and attractively fresh at the same time. This difference helps her students develop and expand their own style. A full-time engraver, she lives and works in the shop she shares with her husband, Bob. She is an amazingly versatile engraver, as evidenced by her holding professional status in the Firearms Engravers Guild of America.
