Sparks Fly by Dianna Wyatt

Studio 180 Salon and Lucid Element Multimedia are proud to support our local arts community by serving as a host venue for the Cary Art Loop’s Final Friday events. On the final Friday of each month, we feature a local artist with a reception and cocktail from 6-9 pm. So, come join us the studio for great works, wine and hors de’ oeuvres and get in the Loop!

This month through September we are pleased to show works by Dianna Wyatt.  Dianna has always used art as a personal pursuit for understanding.  Working in mixed media, she delves into concepts and ideas.  The approach to each piece can be quite different.  In some pieces she will work in subtle layering washes to build a hazy universe.  Other works can be violently chipped away out, only to be smoothed down once a conclusion has been reached.  Most of her works are an attempt to work through ideas involving creation, emotion, and questions of existence.

In addition to painting, Dianna is also a metal smith.  All of her pieces are hand fabricated; no casting is involved.  This makes each piece unique unto itself.  She especially enjoys making wedding/ commitment rings for couples, and feels that the circle is a strong symbol which is often a shape tied into her paintings.

Dianna’s paintings are currently on display and for sale at Studio 180 Salon and we will be hosting an artist reception on Friday, August 28th 6-9pm.
