About
Diana Arcadipone
I am in awe of our natural world. In my work, I try to inspire awareness, enjoyment, and protection of our natural environment. My techniques incorporate traditional crafts with painting, printmaking with works on paper, paying homage to my love of natural materials, textiles, storytelling, folk art, and primitive art.
Diana Arcadipone creates artworks on and of paper. Her passion for making art with natural materials and mixed media emerged from an early devotion to craft techniques such as papermaking, book arts, basketry, embroidery and textiles. Arcadipone's work is informed by folk art, anthropology, traveling, and an obsession with nature and spending time outdoors; it is the intersection of these influences that defines her work.
Diana Arcadipone often makes her own paper with archival materials. She paints with gouache, which offers brilliant, opaque washes of color. She often incorporates ink, text, and fabric scraps that are applied with rudimentary tools like handmade brushes and sticks. She sometimes incorporates a written narrative that reflects the habitat of the species depicted and has included soundscapes recorded from the site from which she captured images.
Lately she has taken to incorporating more hand embroidery and hand beading with works on paper. She may spend several months on one piece, taking time to indulge in the rhythm and meditation of stitching an unspoken narrative into the piece.
Diana Arcadipone studied painting, printmaking and weaving at Western Michigan University, where she earned a BFA degree with honors. She earned an MFA degree from Ohio University with honors. She has been awarded grants and artist residencies including the Dorland Mountain Arts Colony in Temecula, California and The Banff Centre, Alberta, Canada and the Leighton Artists' Colony in Alberta, Canada. Her work is represented in private and public collections such as Fidelity Corporation, Marriott Corporation, City Bank of NY, Coca Cola Corporation, Hyatt Regency and the Office of the Governor of Kentucky. Her work has appeared in publications including The Advertiser Democrat in Maine, Art New England, Down East Magazine, the Chicago Review Press, Fiber Arts and most notably Papermaking by Jules Heller. She has exhibited her work internationally and travels to research artmaking techniques and images. She lives in Maine with her husband in a timber frame house that she designed and built. Her studio is in the woods nearby.
