About me

Introduction I live and work in Long Island City, New York. Long Island City is a mostly industrial part of New York City, however I have a garden there that is a major source of subject matter and actual materials for my work. I am a printmaker and a painter. My usual way of working is to make monotypes directly on my etching press using natural objects such as leaves, weeds, feathers, etc. I then work on these prints using other materials to make a finished unique image that combines printmaking, drawing and painting. In recent years I’ve also been influenced by the landscape of eastern Long Island. I graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design and have a graduate degree from the University of Iowa. My work is in many public and private collections, including Pfizer, Pepsico and David Rockefeller Jr. A more complete resume can be found on my website, www.diannemartinart.com as well as many more images of my work.
