Diane Mattern

Diane Mattern lives and works in Omaha, Nebraska. At her studio in the Hot Shops Art Center, she creates welded steel and concrete sculptures. With inspiration from nature, Diane's work has an organic feel; graceful spirals, twiggy branches and textured concrete with patina finishes. Her previous career in landscaping led Diane to take up welding, creating functional trellises, birdbaths and garden features for clients. The garden theme remains in Diane's work, but she has brought the art into the home, with tables, candle holders, mug trees, wall pieces and more. Diane's work can be found at the Hot Shops Art Center, the Blue Pomegranate and the Dundee Gallery in Omaha, Cooper Gallery in Ashland, Nebraska and From Our Hands in Des Moines, Iowa.
