Born in White Horse, Yukon, and raised in Vancouver, BC, Diana Bartelings’ studio is located in Rock Creek, BC, where she now resides.
Diana’s work is diverse. It reflects her response to social/political issues; her love of nature, with a focus on spawning Sockeye Salmon, the ocean, as well as the Kettle River, where her home and studio are located. Her love of colour & of surface design are well displayed throughout her work as she uses the fabrics that she dyes and screen prints in her studio along with suitable commercial fabrics. She machine stitches for the most part but often adds hand stitching to add another dimension of texture to her work.
Bartelings’ desire for the viewer is that they would catch a glimpse of her message but have enough room to have their own thoughts, making the work more meaningful to the viewer.
