Diane Mattern got
started in metal sculpture
through classes at the
Metropolitan Community
College in Omaha,
Nebraska in the late '90s.
Diane had been running
her own landscape
design business for
several years and found
that many of the trellises,
birdbaths, and other
structural gardening
elements available did

not fit the practical and aesthetic needs of
her clients' gardens. After taking metal
sculpture classes for a few years and
developing pieces to fit her garden desgins,
she began participating in art fairs and
displaying her work in galleries. Over the
years she has slowly moved away from
landscape work.
