NC.
Diana Arvanites has been painting
“my whole life” and maintains a studio in
Charlotte, NC. She received her MFAfrom
the University of Massachusetts and is cur
rently represented by Center of the Earth
Gallery. Her inspirations come from “map
ping, the sciences, and various constmction
of my panels.” She loves to work modular
“And Then Nothingness Turned Itself Inside Out,” acrylic,
paper, wax, and reclaimed plexi on wood.
in which she can have her artwork “always
in flux.” She also uses re-claimed items,
such as plexi-glass in her works of art. She
buflds her panels from wood then formats
the body of works. It takes approximately
5 months for her to complete a grouping of
the inter
change
able art
she cre
ates. She
beautiful
ly blends
drawing,
paint-
ing and
sculpting
within her
works of
art.
