Diane Mattern
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.
