“Observations”

by Diane Di Bernardino Sanborn
Opens March 22

The Walter Art Gallery is pleased to present a solo show by Diane Di Bernardino Sanborn, a well-known local artist. Over the many years of creating art, Sanborn has moved in and out of themes, media, and series. Currently, she is engaged in a visual dialogue with her work, exploring how it communicates with her audience. “Observations” demonstrates her expertise in color and composition and focuses on abstract formal concerns while many of the works incorporate figures in a variety of surroundings. 

Sanborn holds an M.F.A. in Drawing and Painting from Governors State University IL, a BS in Art Education from Illinois State University, and an Associate of Arts Degree in Art Transfer Studies from Triton College, IL. During her time at ISU, she studied with Professors Emeritus Harold Gregor and Kenneth Holder.

Sanborn has received an Ox-Bow residency through the School of the Art Institute and has been nominated for the AZ Governor Best in Arts Education. In 2018, she was awarded an artist residency at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, VA. Her work has been nationally recognized and has been shown in several university galleries as well as public and private collections.

“Observations” opens on March 22 with a reception from 6:30 to 9pm. It runs through April 19 with a closing reception at the same time on that evening. When we have a show in the gallery we are open Tuesday 11-1pm, Thursday 12-2pm, and by appointment. Just email us a few days before you want to come in at gallery@thewalterhive.org.

We look forward to seeing you for this special show at the WAG! 6425 E. Thomas Road, Scottsdale AZ 85257. Find us on Facebook, Instagram and our website: walter-art.com.
