Diane Palmquist

I was born and raised in Boyertown and became interested in art and craft in high school.  I moved to Connecticut where I lived and worked for 35 years.  I made my living working out of my home studio and was represented in galleries and juried shows from Virginia to Vermont.  I was a member of a 100 member co-op and school where we had clay, weaving, metal artists and work areas.  I was also a member of three other selling and community co-ops.

I owned my business for 25 years and I loved making works in clay.  I moved to Cape Coral, Florida from Connecticut in 2012.  Since moving to Florida, I have incorporated other media into my clay creations.  They are pine needles, inflorescence, reed, metal and wire into wall hangings.  I love creating one of a kind pieces and each one generates ideas for the next piece.  I am very inspired by nature and love using found materials.
